One string retainer mounts between the 1st and
2nd strings, and the other spring retainer mounts
between the 3rd and 4th strings (
Figure 25).
To install the string retainers:
1. Slide a #2 x
1
⁄2" silver screw through a retain-
er and large bushing, and fasten it to the
front hole on the headstock (
Figure 25).
2. Slide a #2 x
3
⁄8" silver screw through a retain-
er and small bushing, and fasten it to the
back hole on the headstock
(Figure 25).

2. Guide the string through the bridge, over the
saddle, over the nut, and through the hole in
the corresponding tuner.
3. Allow only enough slack in the string for 2 or
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, as shown in
Figure 24.
Note: DO NOT tighten the strings beyond the
initial tensioning at this time. Final tensioning
should be completed during the string tuning
process.

6. Repeat the above process for the remaining
strings.
