7. Gently pull the strings out of the block openings.

8. Insert the strings one by one in to their respected block openings on the bridge.

9. Tighten up the pegs below the fine tuners using the hex key, rotating clockwise this time.

10. Feed each string in through the tuners on the headstock.

11. Tune each string one at a time.

13. Finally, lock the double locking screws back using the hex key.
