How To Put New Strings On An Acoustic Guitar (Nylon String / Classical)

[thisgirlalexaa]

can nylon strings go on a regular acoustic?

[activemelody]

@thisgirlalexaa they can - but you typically wouldn't do that... you may not be able to attach them to the bridge - just depends on your guitar

[magiclyhappens]

very good explanation :0)

for the tuning heads is it the same idea on a 000 style guitar? (like a martin 000) the tuners are the same idea but are all nickel plated. how much slack must you leave in the strings?

[rokenrol17]

Does anyone know if you can string a regular acoustic guitar like a classical?

[ricky8911]

@cutestorybluth whay u mean strig a regular guitar?

[TerryCraig23]

The d-string of my guitar broke, so I bought a new one & put it on, but I left all the other, older, strings there, since they still work fine. But now, the new d-string sounds pretty different than the one I had before. It has kinda more vibration to it. Do I have to change all the other strings too, when I change one? Or do I have to buy a different string? Cos I have a nylon-string guitar, & I bought an Augustino classical d-string. Or will the sound of the string change in a short time?

[Sanbev]

lmao so much noise

[El2theK]

I have put steel strings on my classical guitar, worked fine, though I do have a decent guitar. However, I am now going back to the nylon strings again.

[activemelody]

@HackDaaFoo090 - Usually you can't because of the way that the string attaches to the body of the guitar... for classical guitars the strings are typically tied to the bridge. - plus steel strings add lots of extra tension that nylon strings don't... so i would definitely not recommend it. (i've never seen anyone do that)

Can i put Steel Strings on a Classical guitar??

[MVLINEMAN]

[Noremorse05]

this might sound stupid but can i put nylon strings on an acoustic guitar i know u can put nylons on a classical or nylon guitar but i only have an acoustic and want that classical sound.

[activemelody]

@lukpat1 - ahh yes, good point, I forgot to mention that yes you should cut off the excess string at the head of the guitar - but just be careful not to cut it TOO short, because sometimes the string will slip back through and you won't have enough length to work with - i always cut it leaving around half an inch or so.

[lukpat1]

do u cut off the excess string at the headstock???

[theBlackNeonxX]

@newville90Oh!...so thats for!

thanks!! dude!

[theBlackNeonxX]

the box said that is nylon... But, OK I just cut it off

thanks!:)

[activemelody]

@theBlackNeonxX - if your strings have a ball on one end, then you probably have steel strings. Do they look like they're made from steel? or are they somewhat clear like they're made from plastic / nylon? If you do have nylon strings that have a ball on one end, you can simply cut the ball off and tie the strings to the bridge of your guitar like I did in the video.

[theBlackNeonxX]

my strings have a ball at the end! ...

I dont know what to do?

[newville90]

u don't need to cut it ... just put in a way that the ball stays attached to the bridge. It's waaay more practical and faster. Those strings have the balls to make ur life easier, not more difficult.

[ichidori555]

sweet tut made it easy to understand. but im still not gonna change my strings... i mite scru up xD

[activemelody]

awesome! glad it worked out for ya
