About how much would it cost to get my electric guitar restrung/retuned?

Question

I think that the question explains exactly what I want to know.

Answer 1

Only the cost of the strings at most music store, about $20. But, you can buy a tuner for about $20, and do it yourself, it's real easy with an electronic tuner, and then you'll know how.

Answer 2

You can retune your own guitar for free. And in under a minute, unless you have a Floyd Rose tremolo.
You can also restring your own guitar. Strings usually cost around $5 a pack.

Answer 3

A decent guitar shop will probably do it for the cost of the strings since it only takes about 10 minutes.

Answer 4

If you do it yourself, just the cost of the strings. What I would suggest is calling two or three of your local musical instrument stores and asking them for cost quotes, as it will vary from store to store and state to state (or country to country, depending on where you are). That way, you'll know who is the cheapest and what amount you need to bring with you to get it done. Because of this variance, I will not even try to make a guess, as I would not wish to mislead you.

Answer 5

10 bucks. But why not just do it yourself. It's really easy. Just get an electronic tuner, they run less than 10 dollars. you'll save yourself tons of money in the long run, plus you won't look like a goober at the guitar shop.

Answer 6

No more than $50

Answer 7

About 40 dollars.

Answer 8

Do it yourself, it's pretty easy as long as you've got an electric tuner. Check out your local music shop.

Answer 9

Not much, you're looking to spend roughly $20 on the strings and probably new picks. Learn how to re-string and tune it yourself.

Answer 10

My husband takes his to one of the big chain stores (not sure which one) and I believe it's about $45. He had a private store do it once, for $15, but they did a horrible job and he had to have it redone.
