Stringing Flat-Top, Steel String Acoustic Guitars:
Flat-top acoustics have a surface mounted pin style bridge
with holes and bridge pins to hold the strings in place. To
re-string a attop, remove the bridge pin and the old string.
If the bridge pin is dicult to remove, you may want to
purchase a combination string winder/bridge pin puller from
your local Dealer, (Figure 4). Feed the ball end of the new
string into the corresponding hole in the bridge, and then
reinsert the bridge pin snugly to keep the string in place.
Make sure that the bridge pin is positioned with the grooved
side riding over the string, (Figure 5). Do not hammer the
bridge pin in. A rm twisting push with the thumb should
secure it in place.
Next, pull the string up over the nut towards the headstock and bend it around the tuning
machine post toward the tuning machine button, (Figure 6) Thread the string through the
hole in the post and begin winding the button to remove the slack in the string.
Continue winding to form a neat coil.
Finally, tune the string to the appropriate pitch. Pull up gently at the center point of the
string to stretch it.
Retune, and repeat, until unwanted slack is eliminated and the tuning of the strings is
stabilized this will prevent slipping and save you tuning frustrations down the road.
