We use a very sharp knife edge which 
adapts to the profile of the moun ng bolt 
in the first few weeks. Please do not be 
surprised if semicircular notches appear on 
the bolt support area of the knife edge. 
That is the way to achieve a perfect joint.

The 

knife edge

 itself is posi oned and 

secured in the slot by two grub screws 
which are located on the underside of the 
tremolo plate. 

For this purpose, the screws have a conical 

p which lateral surface presses the knife 

edge into the slot when the screw is 
screwed in. 

A er the first resistance when  ghtening, 
con nue turning for a max. of 5-10 minutes 
(compared with a clock face). 

It is not about screwing the screws in over 
the en re height of the base plate. This is 
not even possible due to the mechanism.

When adjus ng the intona on, it is best to 
use a long-bladed screwdriver so that we 
do not damage the varnish of the guitar. 
During this maintenance work, we 
recommend covering the area below the 
intona on screws with a cover for 
protec on. Please always losen both saddle 
locking screws prior to intona on se ngs. 

For saddle height adjustments please 
always loosen the frontsided saddle insert 
locking screw before, so that the saddle 
insert can be freely adjusted in height.
