but they all show how to tune the guitar which is already almost tuned, or if you need to change only one string.
I have a situation where I must change all strings and it's HELL to balance out the nut with the springs on the back of the guitar. I wasted so much money, not only on the guitar but also on loads and loads and loads of fine expensive Elixir strings just to break them while trying to tune this and have to start all over.
its too late now, but maybe you should have replaced all the strings one at a time!
ie if the original strings were s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 and you wanted to replace these by t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6
you have to replace one at a time:
start: s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6
step1: s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 t6
step2: s1 s2 s3 s4 t5 t6
step3: s1 s2 s3 t4 t5 t6
step4: s1 s2 t3 t4 t5 t6
step5: s1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6
step6: t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6
at each step you'd have to go through the full process of changing that one string which according
to your quote they have explained properly.
its often much easier to modify something than to establish something
all I can say is to maybe try to establish some cheap strings or the original strings, and then to change one at a time
to quality strings, unless as suggested you send it to a guitar shop to restring.
