STRINGING AND TUNING

Installing strings:
The EG-1 Standard uses standard ball-end strings. (Factory installed D’Addario EXL-110.) No special tools are
required for string changes.

The tuners on your Traveler Guitar operate just like the tuners on a standard guitar. We recommend
changing the strings three at a time—but be careful not to remove all the strings at once, since some of the
components are held in place by string tension. First remove the old E, A, and D strings, and then install
three new strings in their places. Repeat this process on the G, B, and high E strings.

To change, thread the string through the correct hole in the endcap and wrap the string around the roller to
the proper tuner hole. Leave approximately 2 ½ inches of slack in the string to allow 3 to 4 wraps on the
tuner. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed through the tuner. Over
or under wrapping the string around the tuner may cause tuning problems.
