I noticed there were no instructables on this site for restringing an electric guitar, there is only one is for an acoustic and the steps are a little different. I thought i would post one with tips that will allow you to restring your guitar in standard tuning (e,B,G,D,A,E) without messing with a tuner. The without a tuner part of the instructable will only work if you are not tone deaf, perfect pitch is not required, only an ability to match two of the same notes. You can also follow the main portion of this instructable if you have a tuner and just need help restringing your electric guitar.
What you'll need:
-guitar
-pack of new strings
-wire cutters
-small Phillips screwdriver
Step 1Remove the back panel

Start out by using your small screwdriver to remove the small screws on the panel on the back of the guitar body. The screws might be tough to loosen up, but I like to unscrew the middle two first, then do an x pattern for the other four. It would probably be possible to restring the guitar without completing this step, however this will make it much easier to access the back. Doing so should reveal a setup similar to the one in the second image below. The holes will become important later on in this instructable, as they are where the strings are "housed"
you have put 5 strings (all except the A string) on wrong. They are srewed on the wrong way.
