How to Change a String (with Locking Tuners)

Remove the Old Strings

Detune the lowest string with the tuning peg until it drops as low as it can go

Loosen the locking mechanism on the back of the tuning peg as much as it will loosen

Carefully pull the string out of the hole

Cut the end of the string

Gently push the string 1 inch through the hole of the bridge

Cut the string above the bridge

Very gently pull the remainder of the string through the bridge

Repeat the process for all other strings

Gently wipe down the fretboard with a dry microfiber cloth removing any dirt seen; do not use any solvents, oils, or other chemicals on the fretboard and do not scratch the fretboard

Put on the New Strings

Take the lowest string out of the new package of strings

Insert it through the hole of the bridge

Turn the tuning peg so that the hole aligns straight with the angle of the string

Put the string through the tuning peg hole

While pulling the string lightly, tighten the locking mechanism on the back of the tuning peg

Repeat the process for all other strings

Tune the New Strings

At the tuning peg, pull the excess string from the lowest string down to make a crease

Cut the excess string just above the hex screw that holds the tuning peg into the headstock

Tune the string to pitch

Repeat the process for all other strings

Tune all string to pitch from lowest to top until all strings are in tune
