If a string is that old, all the other strings will be in need of replacement too - tone will be bad, and intonation will be off as well, so change them all at once. | |

| Mar 5, 2013 at 5:32 | comment | added | user1044 | Is your problem simply that you don't understand how to tune the strings on your guitar by yourself? | |
| Mar 5, 2013 at 5:14 | comment | added | luser droog | I'm guessing it's the set that came with the guitar, and he took the breakage as a sign that they all needed changing. It's a common (and usually correct) beginner's assumption. | |
