I didn't have this problem, so you may have a faulty one. Have you tried taking it to an instrument repair person, or contacting the company?

I had this problem and just decided to screw the cover, the tailpiece which is supposed up slide on is what you are referring to I assume. Mine would just fall off because it wasn't crimped properly. You can try using pliers to adjust the edges of both the cover and the base if its important to you.

there is a velcro connection that rips off the first time you use it. If you can sew the velcro on instead of gluing it, there might be a chance of it staying on.

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

you need to buy peg dope. search for hidersine hiderpaste. it's a waxy compound that basically adds friction where the peg meets the hole. Allows the peg to hold with less force. This instrument has fine tuners anyway so the cheap pegs shouldn't be a problem.

Same for me. Though it seems to get better with time. Setting up the strings might help, I am yet to have it done.

The back cover is on very tight. You might have to use a very thin knife or your finger nail to get the back cover off. Be very careful doing it and putting it back on. I had the same problem until I discovered how to do it.

On the head of the guitar there should be a small spindle looking part the starp end that is large and flat should slip over it via the slot cut in it, then the string end should be tied around the neck by sliding a string underneath the guitar strings and tying it tight enuf to not restrict the guitar strings in anyway. park to allow it to hang. Suggest using another piece of string if intended use is by an adult, it will hang lower allowing proper pick hand placement. Hope this helps

That's a funny question, the rubber coated (?) top pieces come off. I'd use a thin piece of plastic (guitar pick worked for me) to pry it up. Make sure the screws aren't fastened in the sides. You aren't alone, the manual wasn't helpful in this at all.

There is elastic around the bottom on the ends to hold it in place. There are no additional straps or pull strings. I have found that my cover blows off on very windy days. There is at least one set of reinforced holes at the bottom on the sides. I took a piece of wire, ran it through one of the holes, under the car, through the hole on that side, back over the top of the car and tied it back down by the first hole. Even with very strong winds, my cover has not blown off since.

Mine fall out every once in a while. I wake up a couple times every night and just make sure it is in place and go right back to sleep. I really don't have a solution.

Elizabeth, it takes awhile for the strings to stop stretching, then it should stay in tune longer. You might have to give it a month, I'm afraid. That's what I ran into.

Just start in an inconspicuous place. Down low.? Make it wrap around diagonally. Keep it about a little over an inch apart. Make full circle. Tie it off back at your start. Don't pull too hard on string wrap. It breaks easy.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

I had the same problem...at first. You have to line it up exactly then keep spinning it until the "grooves" catch...thats how I got it on anyways...also make sure its not upside down as it seems to want to fit that way as well...hope it helps!

It slides off there's a clip and u have to either put something under it and it should slide right off.. Might be stuck a little depending on how long it's been there

At the bottom of the string there is a loop, so to put it on the barring you unwind the loop and slide it in. As to get it back up, being an unresponsive yo-yo, you need to do a "bind" (look it up on YouTube) in order to get the yo-yo to come back up.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?
