RE-STRINGING
INSTALLING STRINGS:
The Hot Rod V2 uses standard, ball-end strings. (Factory installed D’Addario EXL-110.) No special tools are required for
string changes.
The tuners on your Traveler Guitar operate just like the tuners on a standard guitar. We recommend changing the
strings three at a time. Removing all the strings at once may cause some of the components that are held in place by
string tension to come loose. First remove the old E, A, and D strings, and then install three new strings in their places.
Repeat this process on the G, B, and high E strings.
To change strings, thread the string through the correct hole in the endcap and wrap the string around the string roller
to the proper tuning machine hole. Leave approximately 2
½
inches of slack in the string to allow 3 to 4 wraps on the
tuner. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed through the tuner. Over-wrapping or
under-wrapping the string around the tuning machine post may cause tuning problems.
