Start with the low E, and follow the ball end down the hole with the bridge peg. Notice there is a slit running down each of the pegs, you want this facing towards the sound hole, as pictured, to accommodate each string.

Feed the string through the small hole of the first machine head. Now you need to leave some slack to wind on. Place your index finger against the nut holding the string. This helps keep the string taught while you’re winding.

For the first 3 strings you’ll be turning the machine head anti-clockwise when winding on the strings. As you begin to wind the string around the post, make sure it passes over the top.

Once completely wound on, it should look something like this. The idea of keeping the string taught is to ensure the string will have better tuning stability and give a better break angle at the nut. It also looks far neater.

As you wind each string on, place your right hand over the bridge pegs and continue to turn the machinehead until close to pitch. The ball end of the string has a tendancy to pull the pins out . Place your hand firmly over the bridge to avoid this; the string will pop into place.

With the first three strings installed, grab your wire cutters and snip of the excess. If would on correctly the strings shouldn't pull through.

Now repeat the process for the final 3 strings. Note, when winding on the plain strings, you’ll want to wind on double the amount of turns, as plainstrings slip a lot more than wound ones. Remember which way you’re winding, or the string won't pass through the nut correctly.

Here’s how your plain strings should look. Again the string ends up at the bottom. This is to create a better break angle from the nut to the machine post, reducing the liklyhood of buzzing when open strings are played.

Once you’ve completed restringing, it’s time to tune up. You’ll want to give each string a good pull to stretch the strings in. Pull each string from the soundhole upwards, keep you left hand over around the 12th fret and resist the pull.

Once all stretched in, tune up again and repeat. The strings should be settled and will have excellent tuning stability.
