ASSEMBLING THE NECK
TUNERS (PART J)
Push the six bushing into the washers then into the holes in the face of the
headstock then attach the 6 tuners using the 6 screws provided.
STRING TREE (PART K)
The string tree is now attached to the peg-head. (see figure 6) Locate the
small hole in the face of the peghead about 3 inches above the string nut. Slip
the string notches onto the screw followed by the round cylindrical spacer.
The string tree pulls the first and second strings of the guitar downward. That
down-ward pressure will keep the strings from popping out of the nut slots
while you are playing. We recommend doing this once the strings are on so
you can line up the string tees directly over the strings.
NECKBODY ATTACHMENT
We will now attach the neck to the body using the four large screws. The neck
plate acts as a large washer and covers the locator hole on the back of the
body.
SET UP
STRINGS (PART M)
Put on the strings and tune to pitch.
1. TREMOLO ADJUSTMENT
If the tremolo leans forward and rests against the body adjust the spring plate
using the two screws holding it to the body to increase or decrease tension on
the springs. This floating tremolo system should be parallel to the body at rest.
