Installing the truss rod cover
While not strictly hardware, it’s important to center the truss rod cover on the headstock.
The simplest way to do this is by using masking tape on the headstock, measuring half way
across the headstock (the guitar has a nut width of 42mm, so the number should be 21mm)
and drawing a line extending out from the nut to the end of the headstock.
You can then align the truss rod cover with the nut and center by lining up the hole at the tip
for the truss cover with the centerline.
Installing the Tuners
SG guitar kits utilize 3 per side tuners, so you will need to first separate your
tuners into left and right.
1. Start by inserting the tuner in the back of the headstock with the mounting hole
facing back toward the body.
2. Place the washers over the tuning posts, then place the bushings and install the
tuners by hand tightening.
3. Align the tuners using a steel rule (see image below).
4. Mark the location of the mounting screws, drill your pilot holes and install the small
screws.
