Step 4Antenna guide
This piece will serve as a stable base that holds the guitar string "antennae" in their proper position.
Grab a single length of guitar string and a single piece of the cut tubing. Thread the string through the tubing, and pull the tube to the middle-position of the cut guitar string (centered at 6 1/2").
Now, holding things in place so the the tube doesn't slide around, grab the tubing near its center and bend it in half, forming a "V" shape. The angle should be fairly small, around 45 degrees or less. At this point, the guitar string should not be in danger of slipping out of position.
Next, the top 3rd of each arm of the "V" should be bent. If the V is layed flat, the bend should go "upward" about 45 degrees. I don't know how to explain it better than that so hopefully the pics will make it clear! Two pairs of piers come in particularly handy here.
