Mounting Bender by Bjorn
Remove the B string from the Guitar.
Release all other strings so they are loose. Do not remove them from the guitar neck if you do not
intend to change the strings.
Turn all intonation screws back. If you have a mm thread on the screws, screw back 4 full turns. If
you have an Inch thread, turn back 2.5 turns.
Adjusted if necessary.
Push the intonation saddles back so that the skulls on the screws come out from the back of the
plate. (three Screws type Vintage model)
Hold the Bender mounting hole on the screw head of the intonation screws and press it down
against the guitar body.
Press a little harder and shake the Bender against the body so that the bender's small flap ends up
under the rear edge of the stable plate. and is completely against the guitar body.
NOTE !!! keep your fingers away when you press the bender against the guitar body, otherwise
there is a risk of you squeezing.
Now the Bender is in place and you can continue the assembly work with the strings.
