Re-string a 12-string guitar

• Loosen and remove the low E(sixth) string and it's accompanying higher octave string.
• Using a soft cloth and guitar-cleaning agent,polish the exposed portion of the fretboard and headstock.
• Restring both strings,taking care to keep higher octave string in the top (closest to you) position.
• Bring each string approximately 1-1?2 inches past it's appropriate tuning peg.Make a 90 degree angle bend in the string at this point.Feed the string through the tuning peg,up to the bent point.Bend the string at the point it protrudes from the tuning peg.This will hold the string in place as you tune it.
• Using a pair of pilers,cut of the excess string,leaving apporximately 1/4 of an inch of the string protruding from the tuning peg.
• Repeat steps through seven for each of the remaining five strings groups.--Using a tuner, fine tune the pitch of each string.
