Huh? You get rid of the old strings and put new strings on. Don't cut the new strings, cut the old strings. I don't understand your question. Cutting the old strings just makes it easier to pull it out from the little holes on the bridge. Then you feed the new strings from the opposite end of the bridge and then feed it through the tuning pegs and tighten.
its possible to get the strings off in one piece? or do you have to cut them, i don't know what type of bridge your talking aboutpageiszepplin
Of course you can get the strings off in one piece but they are easier to take off if you cut them because the string is all knarled up where it wraps around the tuning peg and it's a pain to try and thread that end through tiny holes. You don't have to cut them but that is how I do it. Why do you need to keep the old strings in one piece? The bridge I am talking about is called like a stop-bar tune-o-matic or something like that. It's used on electric guitars.
Here is a good pic of the bridge I am talking about.
