Assemble Your Guitar - StewMac T-STYLE Assembly Instructions Manual

Assemble your guitar

During assembly, use a padded surface to protect the finish
from scratches and dents.
Install the tuners
Lay out the tuners, using a ruler to make sure they're in line
with one another and square to the edge of the peghead.
Mark out your mounting holes with a scribe or punch.
Tuner mounting screws are very delicate, and will break off
if forced into hard maple. Use a 5/64" drill bit to make pilot
holes for the screws; if these holes are any smaller you risk
shearing off the screw heads. Lubricate the screw threads by
dragging them across soap or wax for smooth installation.
With the tuners in place, install the screws in the pilot holes
with a #1 Phillips screwdriver. On the tuner string post, add
a washer then the threaded bushing. Tighten with a 10mm
nut driver or wrench.
Install the bridge
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install the bridge pickup
into the bridge. The mounting screws insert through the
top of the bridge. Place the height springs on the screws on
the underside of the bridge and thread the screws into the
baseplate of the pickup. Feed the lead wire of the pickup
through the hole in the body running from the pickup cavity
to the control cavity. Attach the bridge to the body using
the screws provided.
Install the neck pickup
Run the mounting screws through the holes on the face
of the pickguard. From the underside of the guard, place
the springs over the screws and thread them into the holes
on the pickup. Adjust each side evenly until the pickup fits
through the guard. Feed the lead wire from the pickup
through the hole in the body running from the bottom of
the pickup rout, and feed it through to the control cavity.
