How to Restring Nylon-String Guitars

Here’s how to restring nylon string guitar quickly and easily and keep your strings in tune.
  • Ball End Strings. Some nylon-string guitars use strings that have ball ends similar to steel strings. In those cases, simply place the string through the bridge, then wind the other end of the string through the tuners
  • Special Ties. Classical or flamenco nylon-string guitars require a special tie to fasten the string. Once the string is placed through the end, it should be brought back up and wrapped around the top of the string. Then the remaining string length is wrapped around the original length toward the bottom of the bridge
