Hey everyone I am new at playing guitar I have a problem. I was letting my friends check out my guitar and they broke the high E string :( now I have never ran into this problem before what should I do ?

I need to get new string do i need to restring the whole thing because one would be different or are all guitar strings the same ? If anyone could explain this it would be a big help. Also I live in etobicoke if anyone could give me info would be big help I need to find a guitar shop.

You're such a kidder, go to a shop (google or yellow pages)

*Have them change the string and show you how.Get a winder. Buy 2 extra sets of Elixars*

Change them all, ask them if you need to change the neck or tuners.

Get a double intonatorization done. Make sure your strap is wide enough for the fret wire to string ration and unsprung weight of the instument.

eeehhh, I'm not sure but you seem a little bit rude with a beginner!

Go to the nearest shop and buy new strings, if you never change you strings, ask them to show you the good way to do it, if you have money ask for a little set up by the way! ;) Good luck!

Usually, if a set of strings have been on the guitar and in use for some time and you replace just the broken one, it will sound 'brighter' than the rest, but if the strings are all relatively new, you might not notice the difference and be able to get away with just replacing the broken one-there's no hard and fast rule-it's just more of a judgment call. And shame on elindso for giving some grief to a noob!

I see well my guitar is very new my friends are retarded I should have never let them touch it :/ they were playing with the headstock tuning pegs and they made the high e string to tight and it broke :(

I have one last question I tryed to play the other strings and they seem to be making strange noise when you play now its kind of a gritty sound every time you play a string is this bad news or is it normal because one of the strings is ****ed up ?

I am really worried I just got this guitar I am so mad. Can anyone recommend some good strings to buy for a cheap price and direct me to a decent guitar store in etobicoke ontario or somewhere in toronto thanks.

If you're serious...

Get used to it. Strings break, and/or wear out.

Part of guitar ownership is learning to change them.
Any good music store will show you how (if they're not busy).

Strings are usually only around $6. It's not a complex procedure.
