need to align with the six holes in the tremolo
bridge. This will simplify the string installation and
removal process.

back of the guitar body as shown in Figure
31.
2. Secure the position of the back plate to the
guitar body with masking tape.

⁄32" drill bit, drill
1
⁄2" deep holes
straight through the six holes in the back
plate. Note—Drilling the holes deeper than
1
⁄2" could result in drilling out through the front
of the guitar body.
4. Secure the back plate to the guitar body with
the included six
