Steps
Step 1. Go to your local shop and buy single strings or a 12 string set for acoustic guitar

Step 2..010 plain
Step 3..014 plain
Step 4..009 plain
Step 5..012 plain
Step 6..018 plain
Step 7..027 wound
Step 8. Remove the old strings, but not all together, rather replace them one at a time
Clean your guitar and fretboard with a specific product.
Step 9. Begin replacing the strings starting with the E sing
This will have.010 caliber. Continue to replace the strings, one at a time, as follows: second string.014, third string.009, fourth string.012, fifth string.018, and sixth string.027.
Step 10. Tune the first two strings (E, Si) normally
