3. Tighten the saddle lock screws.
4. Guide the strings over the nut, and through
the hole in the corresponding tuners.
5. Allow only enough slack in the strings for
2-3 rotations around the tuner. Note—If
too much slack is allowed, then the strings
could wind off the machine head after many
successive rotations. If not enough slack is
allowed, then the strings may not hold the
winding tension.
6. Bend the strings at a right angles across the
edge of the machine heads.
7. Rotate the tuners until the strings just begin
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.
8. Use wire cutters to cut off the excess string.
