    How do I play a guitar with only one string?
    Community Answer
    You can't really play chords, but each fret is one semitone, so you can play by just pressing different notes on the string.

    In order to fix that bridge, you shouldn't tamper with what you don't know so maybe you should get that professional help and seek out a video on how it's done by professionals so that next time you know what to do.

    How can I know that it is beyond repair. My mom got me two fender guitars. One just needs strings and one has a loose wire.

    If one of your guitars needs strings, then go to your local music store that sells instruments and get yourself some D'Addario strings. If the second guitar has a loose wire and you know where it is, then get a new piece of wire and solder the new strip of wire to the two posts that ends the loose wire connection. Just take your time and save money to DIY.

    It depends on what the damage is. You may be able to restring it for a better quality sound, as well as clean it. If it is some other sort of damage though, it might be harder.
