ARM ACTION
The tremolo arm action can be adjusted by using a 3.0mm Allen wrench on the screw
(B) of the tremolo screw.
FINE TUNING
Even after locking the locking nut, you can use the fine tuners to make fine
adjustments to the tuning of each string. You should adjust all of the fine tuners (C) to
the center of adjustable range before you lock the locking nut.
ADJUSTING THE ACTION
To adjust the entire tremolo unit up or down, use an Allen wrench to turn the stud
bolt (E) located at the left and right of the tremolo unit. (This cannot be adjusted for
each individual string.)
ADJUSTING THE INTONATION
Loosen the Pressure pad screw (D) on the locking nut and loosen the string to be
adjusted. Loosen the Saddle lock screws (F) on the saddle to be adjusted and adjust
the saddle forward or backward. Tighten the Saddle lock screw (F) and tune the
string. After rechecking the intonation, tighten the Pressure pad screw (D).
*On the base plate there are two holes for each Saddle lock screw. These allow the user to change string
gauges while allowing thee maximum saddle movement. If the intonation cannot be adjusted because
the saddle needs to be set back further, remove the intonation screw and insert it into the hole located
further back on the bridge plate.
REPLACING THE STRINGS
In the case of EDGE III tremolo, replace the strings one by one. Removing all the old
strings at once will release the tension on the tremolo and change the tremolo angle
“up-pull.” Loosen the Pressure pad screw (D) on the locking nut and loosen the string
to be replaced. Loosen the String stopper screw (G) and remove the string from the
saddle. Cut off the ball end of new string as shown on the illustration and insert the
cut side of new string between the saddle and the String holder block.Tighten the
String stopper screw (G) and tune the string. After checking the intonation, tighten
the Pressure pad screw (D) on the locking nut.
EDGE III ADJUSTING THE TREMOLO SPRING
The tremolo springs adjust the tremolo angle by tightening or loosening the tremolo
tension. To adjust tremolo angle, locate the adjustment screws in the rear tremolo
cavity. The tremolo system when in tune should sit parallel to the surface of the
guitar as follows. If the tremolo system is not sitting parallel to the surface of the
guitar, remove the tremolo cavity cover plate and
tighten the Tremolo tension adjustment screws if the tremolo is forward
dumped. Loosen the screws if the tremolo is up-pulled.Retune the strings to
the proper pitch and check the angle. Choose the number and placement of the
tremolo springs according to the string gauge and the tremolo angle.
