I have a classical guitar can I put new strings but I want to put metal string Can I do that because when I buy my guitar have nylon strings? so nylon or metal string for cassical guitars...??

@coolcuate, Never use steel strings on a classical guitar. You could potentially damage your bridge, and more importantly your neck. Most classical guitars do not have a truss rod, and the higher tension of a steel string could really warp your neck over time.

Very helpful. By the way your voice kind of sounds like Ed Helms.

hey great video!

one thing i had a problem with is how you put the string at the top

[24HourAlbum]

I am using my 2006 Córdoba 45R in this video. It has a very powerful sound with extra hard tension strings and great, full bass end.

[24HourAlbum]

The firmer end is the finished end. Sorry about the confusion. The looser winding make the string more springy at the unfinished end.

can i use acoustic strings on classical?

hey andy, Thanks for the great instructions, out of interest, may i ask what brand of strings you use? i have just ordered some adaggio, i have just bought my first classical guitar g-231 II yamaha. kind regards gary

[24HourAlbum]

Gary, I use D'Addario Pro Arte Extra-Hard Tension Strings. I have a cedar Cordoba and I feel like a get a lot of power out of them. I've never used adaggio strings, but I also have a Yamaha guitar in that series. They are nice guitars. Mellow sound, good for playing around the house.

[24HourAlbum]

To each his own. I'm glad I could help.

[Ipat42]

Awesome instructional video dude.. I just used it with this method and it turned out great, despite it being the most difficult restring in my whole life (first time restringing a classical)

A+!

[lowgeorge]

Sorry but when you start to string the third string, it is just not clear enough, i am going to zap your rating for that, otherwise u are fine. 3/5

[24HourAlbum]

I'd be happy to add an annotation to clear things up. What exactly was unclear to you?

[lowgeorge]

nevermind i have already got it cleared up, it was nice of you to offer, i will rate u a 5 again

[24HourAlbum]

Thank you all for your positive feedback. I'm glad you have found this video to be helpful. I will probably do some more instructional videos like this sometime soon. Any requests?

[bbonta]

BEST RESTRINGING VIDEO EVER.

[Wixicy]

Hey and thanks, this video is the most helpful I have found so far as I decided I wanted to start off playing guitar again.

[Lifeson2]

Thanks. That's very helpful. Always had problems but hopefully...no more!

[nattyppanty]

Great vid, very helpful! ...sorry to hear your nut came out...mine is glued in! LMAO

[deronrb]

Thanks for the help! but you explain how to tell the dfference between the finished end and the non-finished end of the first string... but you didn't say which end to put in there!
