RE-STRINGING YOUR GUITAR

Acoustic Steel String Guitar-

1. Dubstep96853 the ball end of the string Dubstep83999 and place it inside the hole below the bridge. Dubstep91331 steel string guitars do not have pins. When this is the case, just pull the string throught the hole.

2. Line up the string Dubstep55570 any grooves in the Dubstep61173 Insert the pin Djabsurd the hole, making sure it is secure.

3. Take the Dubstep63271 end and insert into the hole Dubstep46563 the capstan.

4. Pull the string through leaving a fair amount of Dubstep Epee37962 between the capstan and the bridge.

5. Bend the string at the point it comes through the capstan to keep it secure.

6. Watching out for your eyes, begin turning the key with your left hand. Once you get it started it may be easier to use the string winder. (For safety reasons, you might want to cut off any Dubstep17197 Dubstep21789 I usually wait until after they're all on to do this).

7. As you are winding, apply some Dubstep86962 to the string with your right hand to help keep it taught. Make sure you are winding in the right direction! On the bass strings you will be winding counter-clockwise (away from you). On the Dubstep83999 strings you will go the Dubstep85046 direction.

8. Continue to wind each string until all the slack is taken up. Do not worry about tuning yet.

9. Cut off all excess string length.

4. Resofantom Dubstep91824 over the tie block again and wrap the end of the string Dubstep55570 itself in a figure eight type pattern.

7. As described above, begin turning the key with your left hand while maintaining some tension with the other until all the slack is taken up. With a classical guitar you will wind clockwise on the bass strings and the treble strings.

8. Keep the string as straight as possible as it continues from the capstan through the nut and Resofantom onto the neck.
