Here’s a detailed look at changing the string on your Fender Stratocaster style guitar, i.e. any electric guitar that has six tuning heads on the same side of the headstock and traditional tuning machines.
I use D’Addario XL110 10-gauge electric guitar strings. Ideally you have an electric guitar tuner and a string winder. I don’t recommend cell phone tuner apps – they suck!! Get a basic Korg (or whatever brand) chromatic tuner and you’re good to go for life. Mine is 20 years old and still fine.
First, I walk you through the restringing process. Then, I walk you through the fastest method for breaking in your new strings. With some practice, you can change your strings and break in the new strings in about 20-30 minutes. The string change itself takes 5 minutes, and the break-in takes 15-25 minutes if done patiently. Then let the guitar sit for an hour, retune and your good to for practice and rehearsal. I consider it gig-ready the next day, after everything settles overnight.
The sweet spot for strings is the second gig or second long rehearsal, or I guess day 2-3 after heavy play. Day one they will always be very bright and “new” sounding.
I recommend tuning the guitar From ‘Outside to Inside’ with new strings:
(6E 1e) (5A 2B) (4D 3G)
This will especially help if your strat style bridge is floating (trem bridge floats off the body instead of locked down)

Simplest guitar string video ever!! Thanks very much!
Thank you! I just started playing again after a very long hiatus and there were things I learned twenty five years ago, as a teenager, I know I was doing wrong but I didn't know how to fix them. Thank you!
