Installation method of acoustic guitar strings

Guitar, which means the acoustic steel string guitar, is a kind of plucked instrument with a shape similar to that of the violin and usually has six strings. It was the earliest accompaniment instrument of western country music in the United States. It usually appears as the accompaniment of songs and takes the western country music of the United States as the main performance theme. He is regarded as a common instrument in pop music, rock music, blues, and folk songs. It is also used in classical music, with a large number of solos, and occasionally in chamber music and orchestral music. In recent years, the electric box dual-purpose folk guitar has brought great help to stage performers.

Installation method of acoustic guitar strings

When installing the strings of acoustic guitar, we can start with 1 or 6 strings, put the strings into the slot hole and the distance between the front edge of the corresponding bridge is about 1 to 2 inches, and then keep the strings properly at the bridge from the small groove at the front edge of the chord cone, press the lower chord cone, and pull the string to ensure that the string head has firmly pressed against the inside of the guitar panel, after placing the chord and chord cone, Make sure to press the string cone firmly to fix it. Next, tie the string to the correct string bolt, let the string go through the hole on the bolt, and reserve a section of string outside. In this way, when tuning, you can wind the string on the string bolt several times. After the string passes through the hole, wrap the end of the string around the string bolt in the opposite direction for half a circle (six strings are all clockwise, so that you can tie a knot to the string to prevent the string from sliding).

Then turn the acoustic guitar upside down and check that the shorter part of the string goes through the long part, and the upper part of the long part should be bent backward so that when tuning, a lock can be formed to prevent the string from sliding. After tuning, the extra string length can be cut off, usually 1/4 inch from the last bend.

Note that the strings must have at least two or three turns around the axis. Each turn should be below the previous turn or closer to the bottom of the string bolt, which can better keep the strings from running and look neater. Sometimes we may encounter an old guitar, whose bridge is relatively thin, or the double winding on the string is relatively long from the end of the string. At this time, we don't need to use the method of connecting the piano code just mentioned but use the skills and repair measures of the old plucking craftsman to install the end of an old string onto the new string, against the first end of the string, which can effectively pull the string onto the bridge, Remove the thickest part of the string directly from the connection of the piano code.
