I cant string the kit. With the vibrato bridge. I tried some videos online but they were useless, i have the spring set under the bar but it hangs in there loose and as i tighten my strings the whammy pulls back and the strings pop out, any help would...

With the posts set in the bridge, but facing forward, the string bead gets placed on the post, strung underneath, and then around the bottom. Then, you'll string the strings underneath the front portion and onward up the neck.

get a whammy pedal, your sound will come back much much much better and you will not have to use any sting bending or over the nut bending.

I would first try adjusting the neck tension rod with the head under the plastic plate just about the nut of the fret board. I would be very reluctant to try to deepen the cuts in the nut, you'll probably end up with fret buzz. A machine shop should be able to straighten the bend of the bridge that the strings rest on. You might also research a replacement bridge system that is either adjustable or just simply lower. I was fortunate that mine cam to me pretty close to perfect. Mine has a great action. Good luck, DOC.

Teacher had to put bridge on, tune, and tighten the strings. So no it's not exactly ready to go but I have had stings replaced/ tuning at local music store for cheap so think they could set it up also. We are having issue with strings loosening but told the cold weather can cause this.

Did you by chance remove the tone and volume knobs on the guitar to remove the clear plastic cover on the pick guard? I knew someone who did that and when he replaced the knobs they were not in the correct postion so when he thought he had it at full volume it was not producing sound, because it was in a postion for no sound .

Nope! The target audience was clearly someone who knew what they were doing. Missed the boat on that one! I managed to put it all together... Kind of... But something about the wiring was still off (maybe I should have used less superglue hahaha! (Yes, that was a joke, I'm not stupid enough to use super glue, Duct tape is where it's at.) Regardless of my implied incompetence, I wired it to the best of my ability, and when it still didn't work I took it to my local guitar center, and it cost about $12. That being said, anyone who would like to see how it's done properly, feel free to email me at: jbgmn9@gmail.com I'd be happy to take my bass apart and send a few photos for anyone who needs it.

Try your local music store. Take it with you I you will need help re-stringing.

I wouldn't change them all at the same time if you have an acoustic. You could cause the soundpost inside to fall out of place. Personally, I'd only replace the broken string, unless you have cheap ones on. Either way change them one at a time.

Not for me. The body developed a crack within a week of playing. I'm not using it anymore because the strings cannot be tuned with the fine tuners, they don't move, it's impossible.

Elizabeth, it takes awhile for the strings to stop stretching, then it should stay in tune longer. You might have to give it a month, I'm afraid. That's what I ran into.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

I did and it worked fine with light tension, but it says not to. I'd suggest buying aquila guilele strings

Same for me. Though it seems to get better with time. Setting up the strings might help, I am yet to have it done.

Put on all strings loose then slide the bridge under them about 3 & 1/2 inches from the tailpiece,tighten stings slowly till you get to pitch.Do not leave tighten after use because bridge will dig into its own spot,also it does affect the neck,bowing it...

I located the wiring diagram after I'd finished the guitar. I actually used a series of YouTube videos as assistance. And regarding the building of the physical guitar, there were no instructions per se. Again, if I had questions regarding the build, I referred to YouTube.

That's a funny question, the rubber coated (?) top pieces come off. I'd use a thin piece of plastic (guitar pick worked for me) to pry it up. Make sure the screws aren't fastened in the sides. You aren't alone, the manual wasn't helpful in this at all.

If I'm understanding what you're saying you can try filing the string slots or remove the nut and try to sand down the back of it or buy and install a new nut. These repairs require experience. If you're not comfortable doing them bring the guitar to someone that is. It's not that expensive. Good luck!
