Attaching Bridge
To attach the bridge to the body:
1. Remove the masking tape from the bridge
location.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of wood glue to the
back of the bridge.
3. Position the bridge on the bridge location
penciled on the body.
4. Make sure the bridge is correctly positioned
and let it dry for at least 6 hours.
Each tuning machine consists of the machine
head, a bushing, and two wood screws.
To install the tuning machines:
1. Slide each of the six bushings into the pre-
drilled holes on the headstock. Note—Make
sure the bushings are slid into the pre-drilled
holes through the front face of the headstock.
2. Slide each machine head through the bush-
ings from the back face of the headstock.
Note—Make sure the tuning machines are
positioned as shown in Figure 12.
3. Align the machine heads and secure their
position on the headstock with masking tape.
4. Using a
3
⁄32" drill bit, drill
3
⁄8" deep holes
straight through the two holes in the machine
heads. Note—Drilling the holes deeper than
3
⁄8" could result in drilling out through the front
face of the headstock.
5. Secure the machine heads to the guitar
headstock with the included twelve
1
⁄2" wood
screws.
