Install your strings corre c t l y. I m p roperly installed strings can slip, which will cause your
Gibson to constantly go out of tune. To correctly install strings:
1 . Be certain the first winding of the string around the machine head
stem (tuner post) goes over the exposed tip of the new string. The re s t
of the winding should then go under the exposed tip of the new string.
When pre s s u re is applied by tightening the string to pitch, a clamp-
ing action keeps the string from slipping around the machine head
stem.
2 . Be certain the string is wrapped around the tuner post an adequate
number of times. For unwound strings, at least five turns around the
machine head stem are necessary. For wound strings, two or three
t u r ns are adequate.
