REPLACING THE STRINGS
1
Use an Allen wrench (3 mm) to loosen the pressure pad bolts of the locking
nut, and remove the string from the tuning peg.
2
Use an Allen wrench (3 mm) to loosen the string stopper bolt of the tremolo
unit; then pull the string out of the saddle and remove it.
3
Use wire cutters to cut off the ball end of the new string.
4
Insert the tip of the string from which you cut off the ball end between the
saddle and the string holder block, and tighten the string stopper bolt to fasten
the string.
5
Wind the string onto the tuning peg, and tune it.
6
When you ʼ ve fi nished tuning, tighten the pressure pad bolts of the locking nut.
Removing all strings at the same time will cause the tremolo attachment ※
angle to change signifi cantly, so we recommend that you replace the
strings one at a time. If you remove all strings at the same time, tuning will
be easier if you wedge a piece of cloth below the tremolo to secure it so
that the tremolo attachment angle won
ʼ t change signifi cantly.
Memo
Before you tune, make sure that the string stopper bolts are fi rmly tightened. •
FINE TUNING
Even after you ʼ ve used the locking nuts to lock the strings, you can use the
fi ne tuners to fi ne-tune each string.
The range of adjustment after the strings are locked will be widest if you
leave all fi ne-tuning bolts near the center of their adjustable range before you
tune.
