FAT/SAT/STD TREMOLO
TREMOLO ARM INSTALLATION
The tremolo arm can be inserted and removed very easily. Insert the arm
into the armhole on the tremolo base plate. Pull up on the arm to remove it.
TREMOLO ARM ADJUSTMENT (SAT PRO2)
To adjust the height of the arm, remove the tremolo spring cover from
the back of the guitar, and use a 3 mm Allen wrench to turn the height
adjustment screw attached to the bottom of the tremolo block. Tightening this
in the clockwise direction will raise the height.
ARM ROTATION TORQUE
The rotation torque of the arm can be adjusted by raising the tremolo and
inserting a 1.5mm Allen wrench in the screw (A) on the tremolo block,
Turning this screw clockwise will tighten the arm torque and turning the
screw counter clockwise will loosen the arm torque.
ADJUSTING THE STRING HEIGHT (SAT PRO2)
To adjust the action of each string, use a 1.5 mm Allen wrench to turn the screw on the
saddle (C). The overall height can be adjusted on either side of the SAT PRO2 tremolo
unit. To adjust the height, use a 3 mm Allen wrench to turn the stud (D) located on
either side of the unit. Use caution when adjusting the height of the entire tremolo unit;
adjust both sides to the same height to ensure optimum tremolo operation.
ADJUSTING THE STRING HEIGHT (FAT10/SAT10)
The height adjustment of the tremolo can be
raised or lowered by adjusting the pivot studs
(C) that the tremolo mounts on. These are
located at either side of the front of the bridge.
Clockwise lowers the tremolo and counter
clockwise raises the tremolo.
INTONATION ADJUSTMENT (SAT PRO2)
To adjust the intonation, use a 1.5 mm Allen wrench to turn the screw
located at the rear of the saddle (E). Turn the screw clockwise to move the
saddle toward the rear, or counter-clockwise to move the saddle forward.
