To attach the bridge to the body:

1.Remove the masking tape from the bridge location.

2.Apply a thin, even layer of wood glue to the back of the bridge.

3.Position the bridge on the bridge location penciled on the body.

4.Make sure the bridge is correctly positioned and let it dry for at least 6 hours.

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

To install the tuning machines:

1.Slide each of the six bushings into the pre- drilled holes on the headstock. Note—Make sure the bushings are slid into the pre-drilled holes through the front face of the headstock.

2.Slide each machine head through the bush- ings from the back face of the headstock. Note—Make sure the tuning machines are positioned as shown in Figure 12.

3.Align the machine heads and secure their position on the headstock with masking tape.

4.Using a 332" drill bit, drill 38" deep holes straight through the two holes in the machine heads. Note—Drilling the holes deeper than 38" 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 12" wood screws.
