HELP PLEASE!

Well, my Ibanez (a starter edition)'s thinnest string has been "broken".
The strings isn't actually broken, but the connection to the part of the bridge and strings has been fled out.

I have no experience with guitars, since I just play guitar for 2 months.

I've googled a lot of tutorials, but I couldn't find anything for Electric guitar (I only found acoustic and nylon guitars)
Can someone help me? I need an easy tutorial with images.

Thanks.

Why would you string an electric with phosphor bronze strings? o.O Logged

I actually thought the strings didn't matter, since the guitar works by using an amplifier to amplify the vibrations and stuff. Logged

Phosphor bronze is used because of the sound it creates acoustically. The point of electric guitar strings is that they have a high iron content, and the nickel increases how well the electromagnetic pickups can receive the sound. Acoustic guitar strings normally don't have a similar iron or nickel content, and bronze isn't really known for its magnetic properties.

On a classical guitar. The bridge was held down by the string tension, but managed to slide out from underneath. Logged
