# Remove the old string. Loosen it by twisting its tuning peg in the appropriate direction, and pull the string out of the hole in the tuning peg. Then unhook the other end from the fine tuner. If there is no fine tuner, unhook it from its hole in the tailpiece. Only take one string off at a time because if you don't then your bridge, tail piece, and sound post can fall off. | # Remove the old string.
