5.5.
Install the Tuning Machines
There are four parts to each tuner: the tuner itself, a threaded barrel, a washer, and a small screw.
•
There are three tuners to mount on the left side of the headstock (Figure 20), and three to go on the
right (Figure 21).
•
Insert a tuner closest to the neck from behind the head stock, aligning the screw hole.
•
Place the washer over the top of the tuner, then insert the barrel into the hole around the tuner. (Figure
22)
•
Align the tuner screw hole with the hole in the back of the headstock.
•
Hand tighten the barrel so it stays in place.
•
Repeat for the other five tuners.
•
Place a piece of painters tape along the bottom of the tuners to protect the headstock. (Figure 23)
•
Rub the screws on the soap bar before attempting to scew them in.
•
Carefully install the screws into each of the tuner screw holes.
Caution: Do not over tighten. It is very easy to strip the heads of these small screws - or break
them off entirely!
•
Tighten each of the barrels on the front of the neck until the tuner is firmly in place using a 10mm
socket or, prefferably, a box wrench. If you have deep sockets use them so you have no risk of
scratching the tops of the tuners. (Figure 24)
•
Twist each of the tuners to ensure it turns smoothly.
•
Repeat for the other 5 tuners.
