To attach the end pin to the guitar body:

1.Using a 332" drill bit, drill a 34" deep hole at the mounting location.

2.Using a phillips head screwdriver, secure the end pin to the guitar body with the included wood screw.

Tuning is the most important concept of playing a guitar. If the guitar is not in tune with itself, or the other instruments in an ensemble, the resulting music will not sound pleasing to the ear. Having a good understanding of tuning is essential to max- imizing the full potential of any guitar.

Important issues to consider when tuning a guitar:

Get into the habit of tuning the guitar every time it is picked up to be played.

Always tune the strings “up.” The final tuned tension of each string should be reached while tightening the string, not loosening it. If the string is tensioned too far, loosen the ten- sion and tune ”up” again.

The goal when tuning is to make the strings in tune with one another. Standard tuning is shown in Figure 19.

The easiest way to tune a guitar is using an electronic tuner such as the Grizzly H3097 Chromatic Tuner shown on page 20. However, knowing how to tune a guitar by ear is an important part of being an accom- plished guitar player.
