Best Answer

take off all the old ones and than put new ones on, you may have to adjust the action and neck on the guitar depending on how drastic the string gauge swap is.

but 90% of the time I find you dont have to do anything but change the action.

depending on the the individual gauges of the six (6) guitar strings ie: E, A, D, G, B, E, of course the guitar string that is long and loose produces the lowest pitch... A good example of this are the strings on a mandolin or a 'banduria' which has shorter strings compared to the strings on the guitar...because the mandolin/banduria strings are shorter and tighter, it produces higher pitch... "short and tight=higher pitch......long and loose=lower pitch"
