Step 5Stringing the Guitar Part 1.
Now here's the part you've been waiting for! There's bunches of different ways to do the next few steps, this is just one. Give input if you have any better info!
I like to work from closest strings to farthest, 6th to 1st, Low E to high e, Largest to smallest. (they're all the same)
1.Begin by inserting the end with the metal ring into the closest hole where the bridgepins go. (see pictures for clarification) Insert it so that the groove in the bridgepin faces towards the headstock. rest it atop to the ring of the string.
2.Push down the bridgepin into the hole, it'll push the string into the hole as well. while doing that, pull the string up. Again, while pushing the bridgepin down, pull the string up.

To make the ball of the string slide up the pin easier you should sand the end of the pin very slightly so it's a bit rounded. It looks like your pins are already but for a brand new acoustic they might not be. :)
