Hi folks, thank you so much in advance for your help. I have put together an electric guitar and am now working on the CBS strat style neck. The one thing I cannot figure out is how exactly I am supposed to pinpoint the spot for the string retainers - a set of two roller t's -- for strings 1-4. Any knowledge or advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much! All best, Ian |

1. Look at Net photos. 2. Measure a real one. 3. Install the tuners and nut and strings. Install them in their obvious positions. Ian, Never give up. |

I only use one tree on the first two strings. I locate it across from the fifth string tuner. I drill the hole after stringing, but before tuning up. Leave strings slightly loose, place the tree on the two strings push it down and scribe/awl a mark for the drill hole. I compensate for the break angle on the third and fourth strings by winding more string on the tuner. IMHO - Tremolo and bending work have better chance of staying in tune without the second tree, especially considering the wound fourth string. |
