Great to know the restring process for acoustic guitar. I am searching for such type of a blog since I need to replace the old string of my guitar and install new strings. The steps mentioned here are very much clear what to do and anyone can easily understand what he/she has to do. I have gone through all the steps and I hope that with the help of these steps I can also able to replace with my newly purchased(https://faberusa.com/product-category/tu... tuner buttons.
