  3. Fender Starcaster Tuning Heads Replacement, Remove the Strings from the Bridge: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Fender Starcaster Tuning Heads Replacement, Remove the Strings from the Bridge: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Fender Starcaster Tuning Heads Replacement, Remove the Strings from the Bridge: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • After removing the strings from the tuning pegs, slide the strings through the bridge and out of the back of the guitar.

    • If the twists in the string ends are in the way, use wire cutters to snip them off. This will allow the heavier strings to pass through the bridge easier.

    When I cut 4-6 winding string, I have experience with the metal piece of the string entering my eyeball.

    It is recommended to wear goggles or cut with eyes closed.
