Next, pull the string up over the nut towards the headstock and bend it around the tuning

Finally, tune the string to the appropriate pitch. Pull up gently at the center point of the
string to stretch it. Retune, and repeat, until unwanted slack is eliminated and the tuning
of the strings is stabilized this will prevent slipping and save you tuning frustrations down
the road.

Fender classical guitars have a surface
mounted bridge through which the strings are looped (“tie-on” strings), or

To re-string a classical/nylon string guitar using “tie-on” strings, first form
a double loop knot with the looped end of the string, (Figure 7). Feed the
other end of the string through the appropriate hole in the bridge and then

so that the pressure of the twisted loop holds the string in place on the
