guitar restring
I know I saw a Tuesday about restringing guitar- how can I locate it again. I got an Epiphone for Christmas and better strings were recommended. Help me if you can! Thanks in advance

@MamaGotBabyT Here is one of the better YT videos on the topic. Probably the only one you need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmzNnzu1zLI

Daunting the first time… But it gets easier… 🙂

Hello @MamaGotBabyT ;
Tony used to have a maintenance video which I couldn’t find. I’m pretty sure he’s covered restringing in an Acoustic Tuesday episode also, so I searched there and still couldn’t find anything.
But here’s the truth, if you go to YouTube, you will find more videos on how to restring an acoustic guitar than you will ever watch.
So I was going to give you one that I have watched, and I found Tony’s video.

And here’s Martin Guitars video:

It’s not that tough. Just take a deep breath, watch the videos several times, play the video as you do it. And make sure you have the tools assembled before you start. The first bunch of times restring you will have to rewatch these videos. Eventually, you will do it enough that you won’t even have to watch the video.
Have fun.

Good one,thanks for posting this. I recall seeing this back in the early days here.

Thanks everyone! that was exactly what I did – Youtube search and it was fairly easy. I just wanted to be sure there weren’t special tips I needed to include. Satisfying job, well done!

I felt such pride after restringing my first time. It is very satisfying.
