The tuning machines have spring-loaded 

mechanisms which automatically take up wear, 

preventing backlash. However, it is possible to 

adjust the amount of pressure required to turn 

the machines. Each machine has a tension 

adjustment screw

chine. The tuning machines should be 

adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but 

can turn smoothly. This adjustment is normally 

unnecessary, and excessive tightening can 

lead to premature tuning machine wear.

Tuning Machine Tension Adjustment

 (Steel String Model)

Truss Rod Adjustment

The curvature of the neck should be slightly 

concave. Clockwise rotation of the nut tightens 

the rod and corrects for too much concave bow. 

Counterclockwise rotation of the nut loosens 

the rod and corrects for too much convex bend.  

Make any adjustments gradually. Allow five to 

ten minutes for setting, and check the curvature 

after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut.

Unless you have experience with truss rods, we suggest that you entrust this 

adjustment to your dealer.
