How to Restring an Acoustic Guitar

Acoustic guitars have 6 strings. Normally you will have 4 “wound” (more on this in a mo) bass strings and 2 plain treble ones (more on this in a mo too).

The bass ones need to be thicker to get the lower notes, this means they are made with a core wire and then an outer wire wrapped around this. The outer wire is either made from 80/20 Bronze or Phosphor Bronze. These are called “wound” strings. For help choosing a new set, see our String Guide.

The trebles are made from a single strand of nickel plated steel and is referred to as “plain”.

The windings of the wound bass ones get gunked up with dead skin cells, oil from your fingers, dust and lots of other yucky things (you may also find that your fingers smell funny after you have played) as you play. This means that they no longer sound as bright and crisp as they do not vibrate evenly.

YOUR G, OR 3rd, is also the most prone to breaking (on an acoustic) as it has a tiny core and if this breaks, it is just another indication that they need changing.

Remember, when you change them, change all 6 at the same time so that you get an even tone.
