How do I change e-high string in electric guitar?

Question

I know all the theory of loosening it, cutting it, and pushing it through the hole in the back of the guitar, but HOW DO I PUSH IT? It's way too thin and it immediately bends, offering no strength to push it out

Answer 1

The little 'nut' on the end of your string is jammed in there.

Get a bit of stiff wire, (like a paper clip), and push

it out. Once it's started it should go easily.

Answer 2

If you have a tremolo unit, you should take the plastic cover off the back...it may be getting stuck on that
