Tune Voodoo™ is a guitar string guide designed especially for Les Paul guitars with 3L/3R machine heads and straight nut slots on the headstock.
​
It corrects the position of the D and G strings for a straight course through the nut slots, preventing the guitar strings from getting stuck in the nut and so making the instrument more stable in tuning.
To install the Tune Voodoo™ string guide:
​
-
Remove the G and D strings from your guitar.
-
Remove the upper screw from the truss rod cover. (Do not remove the cover.)
-
Take the screw that came with your Tune Voodoo™ string guide and put it through the top of the string guide. You need a 2mm (5/64") Allen Wrench to screw it on.
-
Screw the string guide to the upper part of the truss rod cover.
NOTE: Be careful not to screw it too tight. -
Insert the D string through the left hole, and the G string through the right hole of the string guide.
-
Tighten the strings in turns until they are in tune. Use our online guitar tuner to check your tuning.
Hot tip! When tightening the strings, wind the G string up instead of down on the tuning post to improve tuning. And always remember stretch your new strings!
