Step 1:

To put on the new string simply slide

one of the bullets into the nut, then

place the other bullet into the

appropriate saddle and push down on

the back on the saddle until you hear,

or feel, a snap.

Step 2:

This sound is the spring-loaded sliding

latch snapping into place. If you don't

hear or feel the snap, push the sliding

latch toward the saddle until it catches.

Making sure the sliding latch is all the

way forward to its locked position is

important because if it isn't two things

will happen:

1) The replaced string will be held

sharp, and;

2) the safety catch will not be engaged

and the string could suddenly and

unexpectedly be released and fly across

the room.

LOADING SPEEDLOADER STRINGS

Step 4:

Then do a couple of stretching pulls

on the string.

Step 5:

The string is now seated and no more

stretching is necessary, just play. In fact

if you stretch the string too vigorously

you will damage the string. Just play

the string in for a bit and re-adjust your

tuning with the fine-tuning screw as

needed.

If the string you're replacing was tuned

to your desired pitch, the new string

you install should be able to be tuned

to that pitch with the fine tuner screw.

If the fine tuners do not have enough

range to tune the new string to the

previous pitch you will need to adjust

the range tuner setscrew as described

below. See "Setting the fine tuner range

on the SpeedLoader Tremolo".

Step 3:

Now that the new string has been properly installed you should seat the new

string. To seat the new string press down firmly on the string just in front of

the saddle and just in front of the nut.
