To install the guitar strings:
1. Slide the 1st string through the correspond-
ing hole in the bridge (
Figure 32).

2. Guide the string over the bridge saddle, over
the nut, and through the hole in the corre
-
sponding tuner.
3. Allow only enough slack in the string for 2-3
rotations around the tuner. Note—If too much
slack is allowed, then the string could wind
off the machine head after many successive
rotations. If not enough slack is allowed, then
the string may not hold the winding tension.
4. Bend the string at a right angle across the
edge of the machine head.
5. Rotate the tuners until the string just begins
to hold the winding tension. Note—DO NOT
tighten the strings beyond the initial tension
-
ing at this time. Final tensioning should be
completed during the string tuning process.

6. Use wire cutters to cut off the excess string.
7. Repeat the above process for the remaining
strings.
