ASSEMBLING THE NECK
TUNERS
Push the 6 tuners into the back of the headstock and then using the 6 very
small screws provided, screw them to the back of the headstock. Then place
the tuner washers onto the bushings and place the six bushings onto the
tuner pegs that are now sticking through the headstock. Using a 10mm
spanner slightly tighten the bushings to the main tuner pegs.
NECKBODY ATTACHMENT
Now you can attach the neck to the body using the four large screws. The
neck plate acts as a large washer and covers the locator hole on the back of
the body. It is a personal preference if you use the neck plate pad (the black
plastic piece that sits behind the chrome neck plate – it serves no actual
purpose)
Holding the neck firmly against the body watch that no gap appears between the body and
the heel of the neck. Some fitting may be required.
Use the 4 large head phillips screw to attach the neck. ( pre drill the holes first )
SET UP
Put on the strings and tune to pitch.
STRING TREE
This step can be done after the guitar strings are on your guitar and you have an exact
position to put them in. Make sure to loosen the strings a bit when doing this step!
Now attach the string tree to the peg head. Pre drill a small hole in the face of the peg head
about 3 inches above the string nut.
Slip the string notches onto the screw followed by the round cylindrical
spacer.
The string tree pulls the first and second strings of the guitar downward. That
downward pressure will keep the strings from popping out of the nut slots
while you are playing.
