HOW TO STRING A GUITAR properly is a very overlooked skill and one that all guitar players need to know! This is something you will thousands of times over your guitar playing life and stringing a guitar properly can make a huge difference in maintaining your guitar and keeping it in tune.It is very important to know string gauge you’re using. The string guage or thickness of string that your guitar has been set up with. If you change gauge you’ll likely have to re-adjust your truss rod and intonation. Also, it’s good to stay with same brand of guitar string once you’ve found one you like. You will get used to certain brand or guage. The most common method of stringing a guitar is called "Lock-wind" method. First, turn tuning key until hole in string post is in line with nut slot. Next, pass string through hole pulling it up so there's about 2" between finger board and string keeping string taught at bridge end. This should allow for about 2½ or 3 windings on string post once you’re done. You don't want any more than that - remember excessive windings can cause string to slip continuously when tuning!
