SETTING YOUR INTONATION
ON THE SPEEDLOADER TREMOLO
When your intonation needs adjusting, first engage
the tremolo stop by following the instruction above,
under: “Setting the fine-tuner range on the
SpeedLoader Tremolo.”
1
Once the tremolo stop is engaged, tune your guitar
to an electronic tuner. Now, check the intonation
of one of the strings to see if the intonation is sharp
or flat by chiming the string over the 12th fret.
2
Now fret the string on the 12th fret to see if the
pitch of the chimed note matches the pitch of
the fretted note.
If the fretted note pitch is lower than the tuned
pitch of the chimed note, this means the intonation
is flat. If the fretted note pitch is higher than the
tuned pitch of the chimed note, this means the
intonation is sharp.
3
To adjust the intonation, first remove the string
tension by unlatching its quick release saddle as
if you were going to remove the string. [Complete
instructions above.]
4
Then, using a 2.5mm Allen-wrench loosen the
saddle hold-down screw while holding the saddle
in place.
Be careful not to let the saddle move when you
release the hold-down screw. Now carefully move
the saddle in the desired direction. Move the saddle
toward the pickups if your intonation was flat or
away from the pickups if the intonation was sharp.
5
Carefully re-tighten the saddle hold down screw.
Re-latch the string and tune the string back to
the previous pitch using the range-tuner set screw,
not the fine tuners (see: “Setting the fine tuner
range on the SpeedLoader tremolo”), then check
the intonation and repeat the above procedure
on all the strings as needed.
After you have set the intonation, you can re-float
the bridge following the instructions above, under:
“Setting the fine tuner range on the SpeedLoader
Tremolo.”
