How much would a good acoustic guitar cost?

HOw much does it cost to fix a string on a acoustic guitar?

  • Well just one string snapped on the guitar (I also just got this so I don't know to much about guitar) how much it cost to buy just one string and I don't know how to put it back on the guitar could I get them to do that at the guitar store? I believe I bought it at guitar center or world (can't remember) will they put it on my guitar if I just buy the string there? thanks!

  • Answer:

    If it's your guitar, you need to learn how to do this. You have to buy a whole set, not a bad idea to just replace them all. Google how to do it, it's really really easy. The folks at the store may do it but they'll just be annoyed that you won't do it yourself.

You can buy a full pack of strings for about $5.00 - $10.00 because if one breaks, it usually means that the other thinner strings will follow soon. Go to http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+change+a+guitar+string&search_type=&aq=f and watch some videos on changing strings. Don't have a music store make you pay for the string replacement. Learn how to do it yourself, because you will have to do it several times if you plan on playing guitar. I hope this has been helpful. Take care :)

You can buy single strings. You can have a guitar center assist you with the services of actually putting the string on for you for a small fee, nothing outrageous.

Yea just go to Guitar Center. they will put a new one on and tune it. I think you can still get a whole set of strings there for about 5-10 dollars.

Usually you have to buy an entire pack of strings, not just the one. So it just depends on how much the strings you want are. Usually they don't charge you to put the strings on. So if you're going to buy the entire pack anyway, they might as well replace all the strings.

Guitar Center will put the strings on your guitar for you if you purchase them there. I would recommend getting all new strings for the guitar if you even want to replace one. The different brands of strings don't always sound perfect when you miss match them together. I think that the Elixir brands sound really good on the acoustic guitars. They run 8-12$ for an entire set of strings if my memory is correct. As far as putting the strings on the guitar, you would be able to find a video on youtube showing exactly how to put new strings on the guitar depending on which type of an acoustic you have. :D enjoy playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzKCgwvv-vw ^Tuning the guitar. Start with the biggest string first.^

Hi, If you are going to be a guitar player you need to learn basic maintenance hun. Strings can be bought in sets or singles. There are many brands of strings and a few sizes. A single string will run you 2.00 on average. Don't count on the guitar store staff to change you string, they work on commission and earn their money buy selling thing not doing favors for customers. But don't worry string are easy to change. However, we really need to know what kind of "axe" you have.

You must a buy a whole set of strings. 11mm or something. Because the string are you about to replace has to match all other ones. I suppose you don't know that brand or thickness of your strings. This is why you buy a whole set and replace all the strings. As for the cost; about 12 $, but this depends on brand.

um for just one strong (mine was the high E) it cost to replace was 40$. and i also got my guitar at guitar center and they do not put the string back on for some reason they will only sell the string to you.
