Left-Handed Fender Squier Electric Guitar String Replacement

はじめに

Use this guide to replace the strings on your Left-Handed Fender Squier Electric Guitar. When guitar strings are frequently played, they thin or deform, reducing performance and may even break altogether if put under too much tension. Some players may even prefer a different sound or feel to their guitar, achieving this by changing the metal or thickness or their current strings. As such, it is pertinent for all guitar players to learn how to restring their guitar. Additionally, left-handed guitars are less common, so there are less guides on restringing them.

This guide will provide the necessary information required to restring these types of guitars.
