Double Locking Tremolo - Changing Your Strings

Thread the other string end under the nut and into the small hole in the corresponding machine head tuning post. Allow two inches of slack for turning around the machine head post (View 2).

For the thicker strings (E, A, D), wrap the string end clockwise around post, then run under string at post entry, and pull string tightly over itself, creating a knot. Strings G, B and E should be wound and secured in the same manner (counterclockwise on a three-a-side headstock, as in View 2). To avoid slippage, wind strings tightly from top to bottom on each post, completing 2-3 wraps around each post. Keep a light pressure on

the string with the fingers of your other hand while tightening the tuners. (An inexpensive, optional peg winder makes winding much easier.) Tune strings to correct pitch, checking post wraps for smooth wind- ing. String ends can then be bent down and trimmed near the knot.

Because new strings are prone to stretch when first installed, you should gently stretch the string by pulling it away from the neck and retune again.
