3.Tighten the saddle lock screws.
4.Guide the strings over the nut, and through the hole in the corresponding tuners.
5.Allow only enough slack in the strings for 2-3 rotations around the tuner. Note—If too much slack is allowed, then the strings could wind off the machine head after many successive rotations. If not enough slack is allowed, then the strings may not hold the winding tension.
6.Bend the strings at a right angles across the edge of the machine heads.
7.Rotate the tuners until the strings just begin 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.
8.Use wire cutters to cut off the excess string.
