Screw the strap buttons into the pre-drilled holes at the bottom edge of the body and at the rear of the upper
horn.
Setting up
Fitting strings to the guitar is achieved by threading from the tailpiece to the bridge, emerging through the rel-
evant saddle on the bridge. Start with the thickest string bottom E in the uppermost position on the bridge.
Ensure that the string sits smoothly on its saddle and keep taut whilst winding a couple of turns on the relevant
tuner. Thread through the string post and bend the string back on itself to anchor it in place. Apply a little ten-
sion­from­the­tuner­and­move­on­to­the­next­string.­Repeat­the­above­process­for­all­six­strings.
Bringing all the strings up to pitch gradually is better achieved with a digital guitar tuner or pitch pipes as a ref-
erence. Please be aware that the tension in the strings may take some time to settle and re-tuning a few times
might be necessary. Stretching each string gently after reaching the pitch will help to take up slack.
