If the

gauge

doesn’t fit, turn the adjustment nut with the large

Allen key, counter-clockwise as seen from the peghead end, an

eighth of a turn or less (see drawing).

Wait until the following day, then adjust

the height of the bridge (Page 6) and

repeat the process.

Put in place the magnetic truss rod access

cover again.

Method

B

.- This is the way to adjust your guitar if

your style involves all the fretboard.

Press a string (preferably, the third or fourth) simultaneously on

frets 1 and 15. Press it lightly on the seventh fret and check if there

is a gap between the fret and the string. If there is one, but it is

extremely small, close to nothing, then stop here: you won’t need

any adjustments.

Remove the magnetic truss rod access cover: insert the small Allen

key into its hole until you find some resistance, then pull.

If there is a noticeable gap between the fret and the string at fret

#7, then turn the adjustment nut with the large Allen key,

clockwise as seen from the peghead end, an eighth of a turn or less

(see drawing).

If the string is making contact with the seventh fret, turn the

adjustment nut with the large Allen key, counter-clockwise as seen

from the peghead end, an eighth of a turn or less (see drawing).

Wait until the following day, then adjust the height of the bridge

(Page 6) and repeat the process.

Put in place the magnetic truss rod access cover again.
