INSTALLING STRINGS ON IN-BODY TUNING EQUIPPED GUITARS:
To change strings, you will need a pair of wire cutters. A string winder is not necessary, but can speed up the
process.
The tuners on your Traveler Guitar operate just like the tuners on a standard guitar. We recommend changing
the strings three at a time because some of the components are held in place by string tension. First remove
the old E, A, and D strings, and then install three new strings in their places. Repeat this process on the G, B,
and high E strings.
To change, thread the string through its hole in the endcap (or in the case of nylon-stringed models, wrap the
strings as you would on a traditional nylon-string guitar’s bridge) and wrap the string around the roller and
through the corresponding tuner hole. Leave approximately 2
½
inches of slack in the string to allow 3 to 4
wraps on the tuner. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed through the
tuner. Over- or under-wrapping the string around the tuner may cause tuning problems.
TUNING:
Hold the guitar in playing position. Tune string to pitch, and when satisfied, clip excess string off.
