Changing Strings
1.
Thread the string through the corresponding string hole on the bridge, then tie the string as shown in
the illustration below.
After tying the knot, pull both ends of the string to make the knot firm on the bridge.
2.
Next, tie the strings to the pegs.
Hold the guitar so the head is facing you and wind the strings onto the pegs as shown in the illustra-
tion below.
3.
After all six strings are strung, tune the guitar properly.
As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become
difficult to tune the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are
getting old.
Make sure you purchase a set of nylon guitar strings. The Silent Guitar uses a
string length of 650mm (25-9/16 inch).
• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings.
• When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may sud-
denly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.
• The pickup sensor is set into the bridge underneath the saddle. When changing strings, please change
them one at a time to prevent the saddle or pickup from moving.
If the saddle is removed, make sure that the sensor does not get moved. When attaching the saddle,
make sure that the saddle’s lowest end is positioned under the first string.
