Question: How to change strings on my Jackson DXMG Electric Guitar !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Ok this is going to be a bit long!.
I assume the guitar has a Floyd Rose type tremolo/bridge!.
You have to change the strings one at a time!. Do not cut all the strings at one time as you will change how the Floyd Rose sit and how it will work, it's set up fairly balanced from the factory!. Saying that, you should also get the same gauge strings as heavier or lighter strings will also change the balance!.
Now with new stings on hand, we can start!.
Remember one string at a time!.
Unlock your locking nut, remove your first string from the tuning peg and then from the locking bridge!. At this point you can also loosen the fine tuner at the bridge!. Replace with new string, lock the string in at the bridge and put the other end in the tuning peg and tune up close to what that string is!. Proceed with the next string etc,!. Remember to tune up after each new string to keep the tension constant so the bridge won't shift!. Once all the strings are done, lock the nut back down!. Now you can fine tune the guitar with the fine tuners at the bridge!.
