TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the machines. Each mechanism has a tension adjustment screw, as illustrated.

Clockwise screw rotation tightens the mechanism. The tuning machines should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but can turn smoothly. This adjustment is normally unnecessary, and excessive tightening can lead to premature tuning machine wear.

CHANGE THE STRINGS

1. Unwind the old string at the tuning machine at the top of the neck (it is recommended to change 1 string at a time).
2. Pull the old string through the body of the guitar through the hole in the bridge. Unfasten the knotted string at the bridge.
3. Insert a new string through the corresponding hole in the bridge (compare the thickness of the new string to the old string to make sure it is the correct string). The string inserts into the hole from the body side of the bridge, then comes over the top of the bridge and is tied in a double or triple-loop knot along the top surface of the bridge. Simply feed the free end of the string three times into the knot that you are making. Just remember to leave a little bit of the string out to secure it by tucking it under the next string.
4. Run the string over the bridge and along the neck.
5. Feed the string through the hole in the tuning machine post.
6. Bend the string around the post and wind the string using a tuning peg. After the string is through its tuning peg hole, you can begin to wind up the string. Remember, if you are stringing the side that will face the ceiling as you play, you will wind it counter clockwise. Wind it clockwise for the side that will face the floor. Just be careful not to over-tighten the strings to the point that they snap.
