Answer 1

make shore you have the right size and type of strings

Answer 2

I have done that once on my guitar if this guitar has springs at the back their should be 6 holes that go in a pattern like this:big hole, beside small hole. so u just have to thread it trough. but some times the string has trouble to go through the top of the guitar where the little pegs sit. so u just half to hold them down or they will move because there is no tension on them. hope u get them on :)

Answer 3

Yes.  Calm down.  They break.  Shhhh.  Shh.

Answer 4

Sounds like you need an after-work mint.  Sheesh!  Guitar strings cost like a coupla two, three bucks.

Answer 5

some guitars require strings in a certain size in diameter... strings break all the time, not a big deal... just call a local music shop and get the stats on that lyon

Answer 6

Hey, guitar strings break. And, they're pretty cheap at the chain music stores. Tell you mom and go out and get a couple sets of strings. You're going to need them eventually when they break again.
