TO RESTRING YOUR ROBOT GUITAR
First ensure that all Robot Tuners TM are disengaged by pulling the pegs away from the peg-
head. This is very important!
Guide each string through your tailpiece, over the center of each saddle (where contact is
essential), and through the nut slot. If you are using String Up Mode, allow 1/2 wrap or more
around the post on wound (bass side) strings before sending it through the post hole and
locking it down tightly. For unwound strings, allow two windings around the post before lock-
ing down the nut. Whether you are going to manually tension the strings (with the Robot
Tuners
TM disengaged) or using String Up Mode, the point is to ultimately have at least a full
wrap around the bass keys and at least two full wraps around the treble (unwound) posts
when the strings are fully tensioned.
Cut the loose end of each string close to the post so that they will not make contact with
other strings, as that would cause the system to function improperly. Also, do not use any
strings which have frayed wraps at the ball end, because that could short circuit the tail-
piece.
