Using these D'Addario EXL157 strings is easy. First, make sure your guitar is in a stable position. Loosen the old strings one by one and remove them. Then, start installing the new strings according to the gauge order. Begin with the thinner plain steel strings and then move on to the nickel - wound ones. When you're tightening the strings, tune your guitar gradually to avoid over - stretching. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean, dry cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the bright tone for a longer time. Also, store your guitar in a cool, dry place. If you notice any signs of wear or if the tone starts to fade, it's time to replace the strings.
