The following information will help you understand how to
perform adjustments to the “ACTION” and “PIEZO
BALANCE”.
If you have any doubts of your ability to make
them, please consult a qualified Guitar technician.
Action
Shims may be added or removed from under the Ebony
Bridge to adjust string action (height). Each color-coded
shim will change the action measured at the 12th Fret by this
amount:
Use the fewest possible number of shims to raise or lower the
action to your liking.
Before removing the Bridge Attachment Screw ,
be sure to loosen all strings completely.
When reinstalling the bridge and shim stack, make certain
that the pickup’s output wire is not pinched between the
bridge and guitar. The bridge must sit flat in the guitar pocket.
Truss Rod Adjustment
BLACK • .006"
WHITE • .012"
ORANGE • .015"
If you’re unfamiliar with adjusting a truss rod,
we STRONGLY suggest that you have this
adjustment made by a qualified repairman.

The Truss Rod
(14)
is easily accessible
via the hole located on the bottom side
of the headstock. To adjust the rod, use
the Torx wrench supplied with your
guitar. Turn it clockwise to tighten the
rod and counter-clockwise to loosen it.
Be aware that the rod adjustment is
very sensitive - one sixth turn yields a
lot of movement.
Battery Light
The Battery Status Light
(3)
is located on the Back Plate
(2)
. When the battery is good, this red LED flashes for an
instant when the guitar is plugged in. When the battery is low,
the light will glow continuously while plugged in. You then
have approximately two hours of battery life left. Finally, a
distorted output signal or a high-pitched whistle will serve as
an audio reminder that the battery is dead.
