How to restring a classical guitar

Date:

Ah, fresh strings! Maybe the last time you fit a set is now a distant memory? Maybe the strings on your classical guitar have been there forever, perhaps even since the guitar was made? If you feel your classical guitar strings need a freshen up and you’re not sure how to approach it, never fear, we’ll show you how with this step-by-step guide.

The method behind tying on classical nylon guitar strings can be misunderstood. Here, we’ll lay out each phase of the process, so you can get the technique down for yourself. If tied incorrectly your strings may slip and cause the guitar to drop tuning, and in the worst case slip off and whip your guitar’s top by the bridge, so it’s important to take your time and get each step right.
