- In this video I show how I go about changing strings on an electric guitar. The guitar used was an Ibanez RG2EX1, strung up with Daddario strings.
Here are some of the things I used in the video:

You saved me from spending 30 dollars at guitar center every month. I been breaking strings everytime I tried but it was a simple dumb mistake of pulling while winding the strings. Thank you man have a great new year!
I snapped a bunch of strings on my initial attempts but i wanted to be able to do it myself in the long run.
I’m a lifelong Ibanez user. This is one of the better non Floyd Rose vids I’ve seen. Your details made it better than others.
Thanks Marvin! New player here with an Ibanez RG421. Without watching any videos, I have changed the strings on my guitar three times, succeeding once. I'm definitely a watch-and-learn guy and your video was super helpful. Rock on!
Thank you this is a really herlpful video and i have a ibanez gio but it will work i just cant keep spending money to the guitar shop to change my strings thank you 🌸👍
I'm putting new strings on my old Stratocaster. I wanted a quick refresher course, so I came to UA-cam. After viewing 4 other videos, yours is the best! 👍
Thank you! My Ibanez guitar is arriving soon and I thought I had to go to a guitar center every time I have to change strings, but this looks a lot easier than I thought
Perfect guide, explained everything really clearly
finally changed my strings and this was alot of help
Great video thank you. My first time changing strings and you made it very easy
Thanks, bro. Made my first time changing strings a breeze🤙🏼

Super helpful!

Great vid! 🤘🏽
Good video!!
for years ive been really inconsistent with restringing styles and i keep fucking it up somehow (im not good w maintenance n shit but im learning haha), so this helped alot. thank you! subbed.
great video dude🤘
great info
Bro you’re the goat
How are the strings attached on the bridge. How do I get the strings off
Loosen the strings with the tuning pegs. Afterwards, you can either unwind them directly, or cut them with a wire cutter/scissors/string cutters and you thread them out of the backside of the body. There's 6 holes, one for each string respectively, and you push them out.
Great video mate the string was still touching the fretboard even though I did it the exact way you were and the low e string broke now I have to spend another $20 on new strings ffs
Well Iwell you’re quite awesome THANK YOU
i am using grg170dx which is preety same.. my bottom e string is broken and i want to change it.. but when i saw all the tutorials, i still can't change it.. the string is broken and hanging in bridge.. and when i am pulling or pushing the string dont come out from the bridge.. it's stuck.. probably jam..
You may have to use something to wedge it out. Maybe like a toothpick or a thin screwdriver. Just be really careful not to mess up the finish of your guitar or the bridge
@@mobbinator thank you.. i used my geometry compass needle and it worked lol.. so easy and i tooked time for that hahaha
@@mobbinator 1 more question.. i hope you can help me.. my guitar string action are high.. when i tight the truss rod, the string action becomes low but few 3 or 4 notes starts getting buzz.. if i give my guitar for repairing and adjust the bridge or any other ways, will it work?? or it won't get repaired? thanks
@@rohanrana7067 check the saddle height for each string by the bridge. If it's still buzzing then, then maybe you should bring it to a guitar technician and have it looked at
@@rohanrana7067 Hey there! Hopefully you got it fixed by now.
I've had the same model (the left handed version to be precise) for more than 8 years. You can also adjust the string height using the pegs where the bridge is attached. It'll give you more control for one half of the strings as opposed adjusting the whole neck with the truss rod. One thing you can do is you can upgrade the bridge saddles later to ones which allow you to adjust the string height as well. I'm planning to get them some time in the near future.
I need to see how to do this on a reverse headstock
When I get another reverse headstock guitar I can try to make a video. It's essentially the same steps but you'll end up winding the strings in the opposite direction
Sweet dude I didn't know you could put strings from top to bottom or will have running issues ok I have the Ibanez rg3exfm1 series candy apple red starting to play again need to change my smallest string today n found ur video 👌🗽🗽
I have the same guitar in blackberry burst. It's my number 1 in my collection actually!
I restrung my Ibanex gio with heavy bottom strings to this video everything went perfectly except my bridge cant handle the tension and is being pulled up what can I do to fix this issue?
You have to open the back of the guitar and screw the tension screws a bit more into the body to compensate
I hear that taking off all the strings at one time is not good…is this true? I realize that your guitar in the video had no strings on to begin with
Great video but I have a question I have an Ibanez and recently had the strings changed but they were on 8's. When the Ibanez is new what gauge strings are in them 9's?
I'm not entirely sure but I believe they're 10-46 or 10-50
Thank you because long story short I have picked up the guitar again after a bad whiplash accident 16 years ago. I had paid to have my guitar restrung but they put 8's on it and yes I can bend the strings easier but lost the monster tone of the low end I was used to. After watching your video I picked up the tools needed and I am going to put the 9's on myself , so that you. My one question is once you tune them for the first time since you put them on at a half step flat that they should have to only be tuned sharp a little bit?
Thank you so much friend, I appreciate you writing me back and for this video.
💯🎸
@@LukasDozer you can tune them normally
What do you mean with tuning to pitch?
Tune the strings to the tuning you're planning to use
My 6th E string broke after I did this 😢
Great video but the music is a bit distracting. Thanks for the instructions though
Noted!
Strings not a problem but the pickups suck on the cheaper Ibanez RG-320 what do you recommend for R&B jazzy style?
Probably something with a low/medium output. Maybe a PAF styled humbucker
@@mobbinator sounds good. 👍
if I tune up the strings, are the tuning pegs going to get tighter as if it's impossible to tune it higher up? it happened to my B string and well it exploded, also if I have too much windings on the strings, will it break?
It will get tighter but it shouldn't be extremely hard to turn. If that's the case maybe there's something wrong with the tuning peg. Too many windings won't make it break, but I heard it affects tuning stability if there are a lot of winds
@@mobbinator oh I see thanks though
Does anyone know how I get my string to stop hitting the frets
You may need to check the neck of the guitar. Hold the guitar out as if it were a rifle, straight out on its side. Look to see if the neck is bent inward or outward. Most likely its outward and you will need to tighten the tension rod inside the neck. It’ll never be perfectly straight but you may prefer to have it slightly bent inward. Once you do this, you may want to check the height of the strings from the bridge as well to make sure they arent too low.
Nice head crab
🤘
What gauge you use?
10-52
What is a drop Q tuning
I was just kidding
i keep trying to change the last string but it wont work
update: I fixed it never mind
Nah strings just shattered wtf 10.00 wasted guess I’ll use the 8th string that comes with it as an E
bro i didnt get that you had to bend the string up and when i winded my e string it went under the shtring not over so it broke
😡
3 rounds is too much. I take 1-2 max
U need to cut the music so we can hear u clearly
Noted, thank you!
