Installing the String Retainer
The String Retainer is used to ensure a steep angle of the D & G strings (relative to the nut) and is placed
on the headstock between the D and G strings (the lower 2 strings as you would play the guitar).
1.
Snug up the D&G strings. To protect the guitar finish while installing the String Tee, place a small
piece of tape on the headstock approximately ½” behind the A string tuner (2
nd
tuner from the
nut) and directly under the D&G strings.
2.
Using a Spring Tee (item #13 on the material list), mark the headstock approximately ½” on the
left side of the A string tuner, between the D & G strings, #3 &4.
3.
Carefully drill 1/16”
starter hole in the
headstock.
4.
Attach the String Tee to the headstock.
