The Strings...

Strings are individually wrapped and labeled for easy identification.

Be careful when uncoiling. A kink will damage the strings.

Installing the Treble Strings to the Bridge...

-High E String-

High E string runs through the bridge and wraps on itself four times.

The first three wraps are on top of the bridge,
and the last wrap is located behind the bridge.
Notice that the string end goes beyond the second string hole.
 

-B String-

Procedure is repeated with two wraps on top of the bridge,
and one wrap behind the bridge.
Notice the second string also grabs the first string,
and that the second string end goes beyond the third string hole.

-G String-

Procedure is repeated with one wrap on top of the bridge,
and one wrap behind the bridge.
Notice the third string also grabs the second string,
and that the third string end goes beyond the fourth string hole.

Installing the Bass Strings to the Bridge...

-Low E String-

Procedure is reversed with one wrap behind the bridge,
and the sixth string end goes beyond the fifth string hole.

-A String-

Procedure is repeated with one wrap behind the bridge.
Notice the fifth string also grabs the sixth string,
and that the fifth string end goes beyond the fourth string hole.

-D String-

Procedure is repeated with one wrap behind the bridge.
Notice the fourth string also grabs the fifth string & the third string.
The fourth string is tucked under the third string at the back of the bridge.

__________________

View with full tension.

This method of attaching the strings to the bridge not only looks good
and holds the strings tighter,
but also prevents the string ends from rattling on the top.
