ACM® Bridge - Changing Your Strings

Insert a new string through the hole in the back of the guitar and pull through until the ball end of the string rests tightly against the underside of the bridge.

Thread the other string end across the string saddle, across the nut and into the small hole in the cor- responding machine head tuning post. Allow two inches of slack for turning around the machine head post. Each winding should be beneath the one before it to prevent slippage. Keep a light pressure on the string with the fingers of your other hand while tightening using the tuners. (An inexpensive, optional peg winder makes winding much easier.) Cut off the excess string using wire cutters. Tune to pitch. Be- cause new strings are prone to stretch when first installed, you should gently stretch the string by pulling it away from the neck and retune again.

Repeat this procedure for the remaining strings, 5-1, remembering to tune each to pitch before proceed- ing to the next string. Retune each string until strings hold their relative pitch to one another.
