Install the string retainers
Install the rest of the strings and mark the locations for the
string retainers on the peghead. These retainers maintain the
proper string angle over the nut for the D, G, B, and E strings.
Locate the D/G string retainer between the E and A string
posts (approximately 2" from the nut).
Locate the B/E string retainer between the A and D string
posts (approximately 3" from the nut).
Mark the mounting holes for your jack plate, then drill pilot
holes for the screws using a 1/16" drill bit.

Solder the white insulated wire to the jack’s tip lug (the
rounded lug).
Solder the bare ground wire to the jack’s sleeve lug (the
square lug).
