Guitar Strings

Guitar string guides from Sandy Music Lab explain string types, materials and gauges, how to change and restring an acoustic, electric or classical guitar, and why strings break, buzz or go dead.
Start with types of guitar strings to understand materials and gauges, then learn how to change guitar strings. Signs your strings need replacing tells you when it’s time, and steel vs nylon strings clears up a common mix-up.
Buying guides name the best strings for each style and guitar, including blues, metal, Stratocaster and acoustic fingerpicking. There’s also a free guitar string tension calculator.
