ADJUSTING THE ACTION
To adjust the height of the entire tremolo unit, use an Allen wrench
(3 mm) to turn the stud bolts located at the left and right of the tremolo
unit. (It is not possible to make adjustments for each string individually.)
ADJUSTING THE INTONATION
1
Remove the intonation adjustment bolts stored inside the tremolo unit, and
screw them into the adjustment holes at the back of the saddle until the
tip of each bolt contacts the wall of the tremolo unit.
2
Use an Allen wrench (2 mm) to loosen the saddle lock bolt, and turn the
intonation adjustment bolt to adjust the saddle position.
Before checking the intonation, fi rmly tighten the saddle lock bolts and
※
tune the guitar correctly. Before tuning, use an Allen wrench (3 mm) to
loosen the pressure pad bolts of the locking nut. When you
ʼ ve fi nished
making adjustments, tighten the saddle lock bolts and the pressure pad
bolts of the locking nut, and store the intonation adjustment bolts inside
the tremolo unit.
REPLACING THE STRINGS
1
Use an Allen wrench (3 mm) to loosen the pressure pad bolts of the lock-
ing nut, and remove the string from the tuning peg.
2
Use an Allen wrench (3 mm) to loosen the string stopper bolt of the tremo-
lo 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.
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.
