TO RESTRING YOUR ROBOT GUITAR

First ensure that all Powerheads are disengaged by pulling the pegs away from the peghead. This is very important! Turn each peg so that the post-hole is roughly in line with each corresponding string as it leaves the nut of your guitar.

Guide each string through your tailpiece, over the saddle (where contact is essential), through the nut slot and then the post-hole as you would with any other guitar, but place a slight amount of tension by hand before screwing each locking nut down tight. Cut the loose end of each string close to the post so that they will not make contact with other strings, as that would cause your system to function improperly.

Now you are ready to engage String Up Mode. MCK should be on the green revolving arrow as described on the previous page. After the display is pressed for 3 seconds, all strings will wind themselves close to their correct pitches, whereupon you must fine tune your guitar using Normal Tuning Mode. (When all strings are removed, don’t allow the tailpiece to move or

it could damage its connector!)
