2.Guide the string through the tremolo bridge, across the saddle (Figure 30), over the nut, and through the hole in the corresponding tuning post.
6.Use wire cutters (optional) to cut off the excess string.
7.Repeat the above process for the remaining strings.

3.Allow only enough slack in the string for 2-3 rotations around the tuning post.
Note: If too much slack is allowed, then the string could wind off the tuning post 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 tuning post.
5.Rotate the tuner until the string just begins to hold the winding tension (Figure 31), and so the string is on the right side of the tuning post.
Note: DO NOT tighten the strings beyond the initial tensioning at this time. Final tensioning should be completed during the string tuning process.
