How do you replace a snapped guitar string?

first you need to find out what string broke and what note then go to a music store and aks if they have the right string !!:D i hope it helped A different opinion: if you've snapped a guitar string, that's usually a good sign that the entire set is due to be replaced. If you're going to the music store, buy a whole set of strings and replace them all. The only time I ever replace just one string is in a pinch, if I don't have a whole set on hand. There are multiple answers on this sight about changing guitar strings, I won't repeat the whole procedure.

What is the range for the B string gauge on an electric guitar?

range as in what would be the thickest to be considered a B string right? if so with regular guitar strings 11 on a 9-42 set 13 on a 10-46 set 14 on a 11-49+ set some companies do 11-50 ..ect 15 on a 12-52 set (give or take) 17 on a 13-56+ set What is interesting about guitar strings is you can use say a high E string in say an 11-50 set you can use that as a B string for a light gauge of strings. It's all about comfort I mean as long as your B string isn't thicker than your G string. The rule of thumb is the thinner the string the higher they can tune as well.

Who plays a twelve string guitar?

Between none and 12 depending on how many are missing! And that's not as daft as it sounds. An unusual but not unheard-of technique is to remove the octave (usually e, a and d, sometimes also g) strings from a 12-string, leaving only the unison strings and resulting in a 9-string or 8-string guitar. This retains the chorused sound of the higher strings but removes the octave doubling of the lower strings. Another technique is known as "Nashville tuning". This can also be done on a six-string but there is no reason why it shouldn't be applied to a 12-string. It consists of using ONLY the octave and unison strings from a 12-string set, giving a 6-string with a re-entrant tuning which can be used to double a conventional rhythm part, or to produce a less bass-heavy chordal part.


How much does it cost to restring a guitar?

It would cost about £2 ($3). However, if you buy the string and string it yourself, you will never need to worry about breaking a string again. As a standard, you should change the strings on your guitar every two months or so, as the natural oils in your hands and fingers will decay the strings and deaden the sound.

How much does it cost to have a guitar stringed?

It will depend on who you ask, but some music stores will string a guitar for $8 - $10, plus the cost of the strings you choose. I once visited a guitar store that wanted to charge me $35, but that is far too expensive. It's not hard to string one yourself, however, if you have some basic tools and a set of strings. There are plenty of resources online for learning how.
