Broken guitar string....?

Question

i was tuning my acoustic guitar and a string broke...

its about 6 months old. how much is it going to cost to get just that string fixed?

Answer 1

The string is worth $1 maximum.

Answer 2

Same thing happen to me,

just go buy somemore strings at the guitar shop

you can fix it your self

or i think you could ask the guy at the guitar shop to show you how

Answer 3

I STRONGLY recommend restringing the guitar with new strings on all 6. Strings run from about 5 to 20 usd per SET.

Answer 4

A complete set of strings costs between $5 and $10.

New strings take a few hours to settle in, and then they sound wonderful -- clear, bright, crisp -- but over time, as they get old, they lose that brightness and clarity and start sounding old and dead; they don't stay in tune as well and they're more apt to break.  

This is why you should replace all of the strings on your guitar on a regular basis -- exactly how often depends on how much you play and how acidic the sweat and skin oils on your hands are -- but every couple of months would be reasonable. Its a very easy thing to do by yourself once you learn how.

At this point, since the strings on your guitar are 6 months old, I would just go ahead and replace all of them, not just the one that broke.  Your guitar will sound noticeably better and stay in tune better too.
