Caution When Changing Strings
CAUTION
• When adjusting or replacing the strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The strings may
unexpectedly break injuring your eyes. If you cut the strings when replacing, make sure you loosen the
peg sufficiently before cutting. In addition to damaging the neck, the sudden loss of string tension will
result in the strings rebounding causing serious injury.
• Sensors that pick up string vibrations are installed beneath the saddle. Replace strings one at a time
to prevent sensor positions from shifting. If the saddle falls out make sure that the sensors have not
changed position. Reattach the saddle making sure that the lower end of the saddle is positioned un
-
derneath the first string.

Replacing the Strings (Nylon String Model)
When attaching strings, please use the following procedure.
1.
Tie the strings to the bridge.
Changing the Strings
bridge
neck side
* If the string slips (1st, 2nd, 3rd strings)
tie one more knot.
Make sure the last knot is positioned
over the edge of the bridge.
After wrapping
once on the 2nd
string side,
wrap towards
the 1st string’s
peg.
2.
Next, tie and wind the strings onto the peg.
* The following illustration shows how to attach the 1st string (the 2nd and 3rd strings are the same). To attach
the 4th, 5th and 6th strings tie and wind the strings in the opposite direction.
* Adjust the position of the string on the peg to keep it from coming into contact with the wood of the head.
3.
After stringing all six strings, tune the instrument using the built-in tuner, any commercially avail-
able tuner, or a tuning fork, etc.
