Stringing an electric guitar

[Vimana]

I need to know how to string an electric guitar and one of my strings just broke so I need directions on how to.

I have Fender HSS Standard Stratocaster if that helps.

Ummm...without knowing that particular guitar too well...is it vintage trem or FRT?

That's basically how to do it but.... getting any floating trem guitar in tune isn't as easy as it sounds. It's a lot like saying you ride a bike by getting on and balancing. Easy to say, not so easy to do.

I've found if you're changing all the strings it's best to do one at a time. Be prepared to spend a half hour or more the first time you have to change strings, it's a learning experience. And BTW, if one broke it's probably time to change them all.
