This is a guide for replacing strings on a Telecaster-style guitar, whether you’re replacing broken strings or re-stringing your guitar. While Fender makes the original, most popular Telecasters, there are several different brands which produce them, and this guide will demonstrate how to navigate this unique guitar body and its components.

Use caution when handling guitar strings, as the ends are razor-sharp.
