Restringing an Accent?

I just got my new Accent Vibrato in the mail and i'm trying to string it up with my 330. I just can't figure out what the correct way to do it is.

John: I like to fit the Accent parts together with the strings already in place in the tailpiece. The Accent 'spring' tends to hold the ball ends pretty well. I then run the strings into the tuners and gradually begin tightening them. It's best to tension the top and bottom strings first to hold the Accent straight.

Thanks Randy, got it all set up.

Loving the Accent!

I use two strips of masking tape to hold those sliding pieces in place so they don't scratch the varnish...

Accents are trés cool...
