The Austin Bazaar 38" Cut Away Acoustic Guitars come as a Set and is a great choice for the learner player on a budget; all you need to add is the practice. Not only do you get your instrument set up with a full set of strings, but you also get a spare set as well. Trust me, it is not that hard to break a string when practicing your strumming, so having a spare set on hand is a great idea!
If you do break one, then it is an easy job to remove the old one and replace it with a new one. You will notice when you unwind the replacement string that one end has a reinforced eyelet. The other end has no attachment.
At the bottom of your guitar, just below the sound hole, there is a raised piece of wood, or metal, with 6 small holes in it. This is called the bridge, and its job is to keep your strings secured and elevated as they travel over the sound hole in your guitar body. The reinforced eyelet at one end of the string is designed to prevent the string from pulling through its hole in the bridge when under tension.
Remove the broken string and thread the new string through the bridge and up to the hole in the winder at the top of the neck. Make sure the string runs in a straight line and does not interfere with any of the other strings. Adjust the tension so the string becomes straightened and under slight tension. Then tune to the correct note using a keyboard or pitch pipe.
