    Throw it in the bin and buy a new guitar, preferably a musicman. Only with a musicman can you change the strings. All other guitars have to be discarded after use.

    its super hard to describe how to put stings on in words. just grab a new set and slap them on... if your local shop guys are nice you should take your guitar in and ask them to show you how to restring it when you go in to buy new strings

    Good thing to learn. It will save you money and properly installed strings help you stay in tune. Check out Dan Erlewine's "How to make Your Electric Guitar Play Great." for more stringing details and adjustments.
