Guitar Bridges
GIBRALTAR III (GUITAR & BASS), CB3, & FULL TUNE III, ART1, ART2
The action can be adjusted by using a slot
head (-) screwdriver to turn the adjustment
bolt at either end (A).
Intonation can be adjusted by moving the
saddle forward or backward by turning the
intonation adjustment screw (B) at the rear
of the bridge. You can use either a Phillips (+),
a fl at head (-) screwdriver, or the optional
hex wrench.
REPLACING THE STRINGS : CB3
Install strings by inserting them from the front of the bridge.
Before adjusting the action on the Gibraltar III bridge, loosen the strings suf- ※
fi ciently so that you will not need to turn the screws with excessive force, which
could damage the screw holes.
HARDTAIL BRIDGE
To change strings, thread the new strings through the string grommets
located on the back of the guitar and bring them up and over the
saddle. The intonation can be adjusted by adjusting the saddle forward
or backward using a Phillips (+) head screwdriver on the intonation
adjustment screw at the rear of the bridge. String height is controlled by
raising or lowering the small Allen screws using a wrench on either side of
the saddle.
GIBRALTER STANDARD BRIDGE
（
7-STRING / 8-STRING MODELS
）
There are two methods to attach the strings: One method is to thread the
strings through the string grommets located on the back of the guitar, and
the other is to hook and stop the ball-end on the back of the bridge (A).
To adjust the height of the strings, use a 1.5mm hexagonal wrench to turn
and adjust the height of each saddle (B).
To adjust the intonation, use a 2.5mm hexagonal wrench to turn the
intonation adjustment screws of each saddle on the back of the bridge (C).
The adjustment method is the same for 7-string and 8-string models.
