"Now this as we mentioned is a double ball guitar. Now the reason for that is because as with the nylon string guitars had no balls. The electric solid body and the hollow body guitars had one ball and you'll see that this guitar has a ball on this end and a ball at the other end. Now this means that you don't need a headstock because the headstock is essentially where the string would be tied around and tuned up to create the tension. On this guitar you would just take the string, put it in one end up by the headstock. Take the other ball put it in this little carriage, hold it down with your finger tighten it up clockwise with these guys. Make sure it sits on the bridge and then once it goes underneath it'll keep the tension for you. Strum the string until you've got some tension and then use a tuner to make sure you're in tune."
