if you have extra Hi E string, look at how the rest of the 5 strings are stringed, diy the string change yourself.

What you need, can range from string winder(can get from most guitar store), wire cutter, plier and a tuner for changing the string.

OMG! means i have to bring to the shop and repair? hmm any shop near kallang? i have plier , plier , and tuner only dun have string winder.. =\

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

nope, you dont have to bring the guitar to shop. You can do it yourself if you have extra E string

I believe your f10 is a fixed bridge guitar. It shud be much easier to change string.

the string winder is optional. Not a must. I have been changing string with plier, wire cutter usually.

So, do you have extra E string? If not, its time to go to guitar shop and get strings you wanna.

Not sure bout shops in kallang area, nearest i can think of be around cityhall area at peninsular or yamaha at plaza sing

OMG I did my first string change myself when I only knew how to play the Em chord :roll:

It's a piece of cake. Don't even need to use pliers if you are able to bend the string back and forth so much it will shear off. Just buy a set of strings from any musical shop and use google.

My method of stringing: Remove old string. Thread one end of string through the bridge and one end through the tuner post hole. Pull string until taut then gauge 2 inches of extra string behind the tuner post hole and make a kink in it. Now slacken the string so that the kink previously made is right at the tuner post hole. Start winding and keep in mind to keep the string tight as you wind, noting that each successful layer wraps itself lower and lower down the tuner post. If you don't know what this means you have like 5 other strings for reference. Cut off excess string and tune to pitch after your done.

Good luck.

re-stringing is a must know for guitar owners (IMO)...

 

[metalella_eh]

errr... for your information, there's no kallang airport road. it's either cassia crescent, jalan satu, jalan dua, jalan tiga or mountbatten road.. and yes, you might have guess it, i stay there...

if you need help, i can help, BUT if you need someone more professional to setup your guitar, take bus 31 along mountbatten road, drop at parkway, go to roxy square 2, 3rd floor and find beez at ebenex music.

 

[jf_element]

[Guest]

[Heyn]

[ebenex]

[watme]
