Using your Ernie Ball Extra Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings is easy. First, loosen the old strings and remove them from the guitar. Then, thread the new strings through the bridge and the tuning pegs. Tune the strings to the desired pitch using a tuner. When you're playing, be gentle with the strings to avoid breakage. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the bright tone and extend the life of the strings. If you notice the tone getting dull or the strings start to feel rough, it's time to replace them.
