Sit tight rockers, today we'll be showing you how to restring an electric guitar. 😎

We all have to do it at some point. Restringing your guitar for the first time can seem a little daunting, especially if you don't know where to even start. We are joined by Keiran from our Glasgow store to show you how to take off those nasty, worn strings, and swap them for some fresh new ones. There's no better feeling than brand new strings on your axe! 🎸🀘
