Using these D'Addario electric guitar strings is easy. First, loosen the old strings on your guitar and remove them. Then, start with the thickest string and thread it through the bridge and the tuning peg. Tune it up to the right pitch and repeat the process for the other strings. When it comes to tuning, take your time to get each string just right. For best results, break in the strings by gently stretching them a few times after tuning. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe the strings down after each use with a soft cloth to remove dirt and sweat. This will also help the strings last longer. Store your guitar in a dry place to avoid rusting of the strings. And don't forget to use the code on the recyclable VCI bag to earn Players Circle points.
