To install the guitar strings:

1.Slide the 1st string through the correspond- ing hole in the bridge (Figure 32).

Figure 32. 1st string installation hole.

2.Guide the string over the bridge saddle, over the nut, and through the hole in the corre- sponding tuner.

3.Allow only enough slack in the string for 2-3 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. Note—DO NOT tighten the strings beyond the initial tension- ing at this time. Final tensioning should be completed during the string tuning process.

6.Use wire cutters to cut off the excess string.

7.Repeat the above process for the remaining strings.
