Setting up
Fitting strings to the guitar is achieved by threading from the bridge, emerging through the relevant 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.
