Hey guys im wondering if any of you could help me..
My acoustic guitar REALLY needs its strings changing but im not sure how id change them because my guitar doesnt have bridge pins or holes in the guitar that the strings go into.. its attached by a sort of knot but -beep- knows how i do a knot like that.. if anyone can help me it'd be appreciated

Ive searched all over the internet trying to find out how to do it but cant seem to find anything.. i went through at least 50 pages on google and spent about 4 hours searching lawl xD

Pictures as asked..

If you need any others ask me..

I hate those types of guitars. Great sound on most of them, but maintenance just ****ing sucks 'the big ones' -.-

You're best off taking it to a guitar shop or the place you bought it from and asking them to do it.

Buddy, it's got nylon strings; it's a classical guitar.
You're not gonna get much help from the internet if you don't know what guitar you really have.

Lol thanks.. i always thought classical guitars had 5 strings?

thats why i thought it was just a strange acoustic guitar.. ah well off to change strings

Raiyne · 07-15-2007, 12:42 PM

Lol... yeah its a classical guitar. Usually I just unwind them until they're loose enough so the knots are easliy undone then I just take em out. Easy.

Rodenty · 07-15-2007, 12:44 PM

you get 6 string nylons and steel ..all depends on what sound and play style u want

ok to change the strings

this is going by some of the electric changes as well

1.detune the guitar all the way down so the strings are extrodinalry loose just keep going till the strings of the neck practicly come off..do that to all 6 strings

2.i guess u wont be needing the strings again so at the bridge mayb cut the stirngs it looks like a lassoo so try n cut it at the lassoo part

thats to take em off..i hope

i cant help u putting em n back on though soz
