    E-GUITAR KIT ST-STYLE STRAP BUTTONS Screw the strap buttons into the pre-drilled holes at the bottom edge of the body and at the tip of the upper horn of the body.

  • Page 12: Setting Up

  • Page 13 E-GUITAR KIT ST-STYLE The neck is fitted with a truss rod which may need adjusting. When the strings are tuned up, they will try to pull away from the neck, which may mean that the action becomes too high. If this happens, use the larger of the two hex keys provided to gradually tighten the truss rod –...
  • Page 14 E-GUITAR KIT ST-STYLE To setup into nation you just have to gently touch a string, right above the twelfth fret and then pick the string.
