The Alice A506-SL Electric Guitar String Set is easy to use and install on your electric guitar. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Remove Old Strings:
- If replacing old strings, loosen and remove the current strings from the tuning pegs and bridge.
- Use a string winder if necessary to speed up the process.
- Prepare the New Strings:
- The Alice A506-SL set typically comes with the strings in the following gauges:
- E-1st: 0.009 inches
- B-2nd: 0.011 inches
- G-3rd: 0.016 inches
- D-4th: 0.024 inches

- E-6th: 0.042 inches
- Each string is color-coded with plastic ball-ends, making it easier to identify and install.
- The Alice A506-SL set typically comes with the strings in the following gauges:
- Install the Strings:
- Start by threading the thicker strings (the low E and A strings) through the bridge or tailpiece of your guitar, depending on the model.
- Insert the ball-end of each string into the bridge or tailpiece slot and pull the string up to the corresponding tuning peg.
- Wind the Strings:
- Begin winding the strings around the tuning pegs, turning the pegs clockwise for tension.
- Make sure to wind the strings neatly and evenly around the pegs to avoid slipping or tangling.
- Keep some tension on the string while winding to ensure it's taut.
- Tune the Guitar:
- Once all the strings are installed, start tuning them to the correct pitch using a tuner. Begin with the low E string and work your way to the high E string.
- It’s common for the strings to stretch a bit after installation, so check the tuning again after a few minutes and adjust as necessary.
- Stretch the Strings:
- After tuning, gently pull each string away from the fretboard and retune. This helps the strings stretch and stay in tune longer.
- Final Tuning:
- Once all the strings are stretched and tuned, make any final adjustments to ensure the guitar is in perfect tune.
