Re-Stringing Guitars with Gibson G FORCE™

For proper Gibson G FORCE operation, re-string your guitar following these
instructions. To maintain a constant neck tension, Gibson recommends changing
strings individually.
Bass Side Guitar Stringing for Gibson G FORCE
1. Unscrew the machine head cap.
2. Looking at the top of the headstock with the bass strings toward the left, the machine head's
right recess should be between 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock, and the left recess between 10:00 and
11:00 o'clock.

3. Thread the string through the bridge and toward the machine head. Pull on the string to
take up any slack as you wrap it partially around the part of the post below the flange that
faces away from the guitar body. Then, bring the string up through the flange recess that
faces the tuning pegs.
String winding technique. The string shaft slot (where to feed the string up toward the thread) is at an
approximate 45 degree angle. The guitar body is below the picture.
