Guitar strings ringing

[Don Legend]

Hello all guitarist out there. I have restrung my guitar but my string keep on rining (i'm guessing this is due to the strings being too close to the fret board). How do i solve this problem?

My guitar does that sometimes when I'm put new strings on it. They probably just need to be worn in.

Did you install different gauge strings than what you had before?

May need to raise the action, what kind of axe do you have? If it's a Gibson (Les Paul/335/SG) you'll need to adjust it by turning the screws on the bridge.

If it's one of most Fender types, adjust each string individually with an allen wrench of the appropriate size.

Ok, i have a electric fender guitar. I've only been playing for 6months, so i'm still learning about guitars etc. so please excuse me if i'm slow. I changed my strings, but i did make a bit of a mess of it because i hadn't changed them before. Anyway, i think i must have a set of different guage strings, and thats why it they are ringing.
So i'm guessing the strings need to be higher up or the neck needs adjusting. Is this right? If so can someone explain step by step what i have to do. cheers.

It might be because they're new...

New strings will ring untill they've been played for a lil bit i.e worn in.or you can just stretch em.

think about it when they've been on your guitar for a while they're constantly being stretched which changes the sound.

Lol I thought everyone knew that.
