Restringing and string stretching
This guitar uses split shaft string posts. You can hold
the strings firmly in place and restring quickly by
threading the strings through the hole at the center
of the shaft and then winding them. For more stable
tuning, follow the steps below when restringing the
guitar, which include stretching the strings.
Restringing with new strings
1. Start with the sixth string (the low E). Thread the
string through the metal hole at the back of the
guitar body.
2. After pulling the threaded string right up and over
the bridge, pull the string towards the head of the
guitar, and clip the string at a length 5 cm past the
string post with a pair of wire cutters or a similar tool.
Be careful—the tip of the string that you clipped
will be very sharp!
5 cm
3. Thread the tip of the string through and all the way
into the hole at the center of the string post.
4. Bend the string where it comes out of the hole to a
6
90-degree angle, and wind the string until it
7
reaches the correct pitch. Be careful that the strings
do not overlap when you are winding them.
5. Use the same steps to wind the other five strings
8
onto the guitar.

Stretching the strings
This instrument uses a short scale length. The pitch of
the strings on short scale guitars tends to vary more
than regular guitars, due to slight lengthening or
slippage. Because of this, it is normal to find that the
guitar has gone out of tune if you haven't played it for
a while, or right after changing the strings. You can
minimize this issue by stretching your strings using
these steps.
1. Begin by tuning all of the strings using an electron-
ic tuner.
2. Hold your guitar in playing position and stretch the
strings beginning with the low E, by using the
fingers of your right hand to gently pull the string
about 1 to 2 cm away from the fingerboard at the
19th fret on the neck. When doing this, keep the
string in the nut slot with your left hand in front of
the nut (fret #0) to keep the string from sliding out.
3. Retune the string, using your right hand this time
to stretch the string in the same way, at a position
several frets down. Repeat the stretching and
tuning several times, ending up with your right
hand around the 5th fret.
