TO RESTRING YOUR ROBOT GUITA R
First ensure that all Powerheads are disengaged by pulling the pegs away from the peghead. This is very important!
Guide each string through your tailpiece, over the center of each saddle (where contact is essential), and through the nut slot. If you are using String Up Mode, allow 1/2 wrap or more a round the post on wound (bass side) strings before sending it through the post hole and locking it down tightly. For unwound strings, allow two windings around the post before lock- ing down the nut. Whether you are going to manually tension the strings (with the P o w e rheads disengaged) or using String Up Mode, the point is to ultimately have at least a full wrap around the bass keys and at least two full wraps around the treble (unwound) posts when the strings are fully tensioned.
Cut the loose end of each string close to the post so that they will not make contact with other strings, as that would cause the system to function impro p e r l y. Also, do not use any strings which have frayed wraps at the ball end, because that could short circuit the tail- p i e c e .
