Owner’s Manual
When attaching strings, please use the following procedure.
1. Tie the strings to the bridge.
3. After all six strings have been wound, use a tuning meter or tuning fork to tune the instrument to the
proper pitch.
2. Next, tie and wind the strings onto the peg.
* The following illustration shows how to attach the 1st string (the 4th and 5th strings are the same).
To attach the 2nd, 3rd and 6th strings tie and wind the strings in the opposite direction.

Changing the Strings (Classical Guitar)
Tuning Machine Tension Adjustment
The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which
automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is
possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the
machines. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw, as il-
lustrated.

O
Clockwise screw rotation tightens the machine. The tuning
machines should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm,
but can turn smoothly. This adjustment is normally unneces-
sary, and excessive tightening can lead to premature tuning
machine wear.

Truss Rod Adjustment
The curvature of the neck should be slightly concave. Clockwise
rotation of the nut tightens the rod and corrects for too much con-
cave bow. Counterclockwise rotation of the nut loosens the rod
and corrects for too much convex bend. Make any adjustments
gradually. Allow five to ten minutes for setting, and check the
curvature after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut.
