HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (LOCKING NUT)

1. Remove the 3 hexagonal lock pad screws, exposing the nut base.
2. Loosen the 4 nut base fixing screws.
3. Adjust the height by turning the height adjustment screws. Raise the base by turning clockwise, lower the base by turning counterclokwise.

NOTE: The guitar has been setup in the best condition in the factory, please avoid the adjustment unless you have the needed experience. Otherwise, it’s suggested to entrust any adjustment to your dealer.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (BRIDGE)

String height refers to the space between the strings and frets, and has an affect on playability. String height is adjusted with the bridge and/or the saddle on the bridge. Adjust height by alternately turning the screws little by little on the left and right sides. Set too high and the instrument is hard to play. Too low results in fret noise. Adjust so that the space between the string and the last fret measures as follows:

CHANGING STRINGS

1. Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to loosen the three hexagonal screws.
2. Loosen the individual string locks, again using the supplied hexagonal wrench.
3. Replace the old strings with new strings.
4. Use the hexagonal wrench to lock each string.
5. After locking, make sure that the fine tuning screws are in the middle of their range of travel.
6. Tune the guitar to the correct pitch.
7. Remove the back plate to gain access to the vibrato strings. Three springs are factory installed and it’s recommend that these springs are adjusted so that the vibrato bridge plate is parallel to the top of the guitar when it is tuned to correct pitch (see bridge tensions adjustment).
8. Tighten and lock the three hexagonal screws, loosened at point 1.
9. Use the fine tuning thumb screw to tune the guitar to the correct pitch.

Intonation adjustment

1. Loosen the hexagonal saddle screws using the supplied hexagonal wrench.
2. Slide the saddles by hand to adjust the length of each string.
3. When the intonation is found to be correct, tighten the saddle screws back up to ensure that its position is locked.

BRIDGE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

For best results the bridge should always be parallel to the top surface of the guitar. This position is reached by opposing tension between the strings and the claw springs. If you replace strings, you might need to readjust the spring tension to set the bridge to the optimal (parallel) position.

1. Make sure that the guitar is pitched correctly.
2. On the backside of the guitar: remove the screws that attach the tremolo cavity back plate to expose the claw springs.
3. If the bridge is tilted forwards (back of bridge points up), tighten spring tension by turning the spring screws clockwise. If the bridge is tilted backwards (back of bridge points down), loosen the spring tension by turning the spring screws counterclokwise.
4. Be sure to check string pitch after each adjustment to the spring tension.
5. When bridge tension has been set correctly, place back the back plate and tighten the screws.
