Each tuning machine consists of the machine head, a bushing, and two wood screws.

2.Slide each machine head through the bush- ings from the back face of the headstock.

4.Using a 3⁄32" drill bit, drill 3⁄8" deep holes straight through the two holes in the machine heads. Note—Drilling the holes deeper than 3⁄8" could result in drilling out through the front face of the headstock.
5.Secure the machine heads to the guitar headstock with the included twelve 1⁄2" wood screws.
