Adjusting the neck curvature
The integrated truss rod offers the possibility to adjust the neck curvature with an Allen key. Access
to the neck tension rod is located on the headstock behind the nut. The following applies here:
•
When the neck tension rod is tightened (clockwise rotation), the neck tilts back and
becomes straighter.
•
When the neck tension rod is loosened (turn counterclockwise), the neck tilts forward and
becomes concave.
When adjusted optimally, all strings on the first frets should be playable without buzzing and without
having too much distance to the fingerboard. Please note that adjustments should only be made in
small steps (maximum quarter turns) and that the neck should be given a little time to adjust after
each step. After each change, tune the strings to the correct pitch and examine the neck curve before
making further adjustments to the truss rod.
Adjust string action
Depending on your playing habits, you can also adjust the string action by screwing the grub screws
of the tremolo tailpiece higher or lower into the tailpiece. Loosen the string tension beforehand to
make adjustments to the bridge easier. Again, a flatter string action is easier to play, but if it is too flat,
it can cause noise when playing.
Adjusting the intonation
To adjust the intonation of the instrument precisely, each string saddle on the bridge has its own
adjusting screw. To do this, use a tuner to compare the harmonics of the 12th fret (touch the string
with the finger of the left hand above the 12th fret bar when striking it) with the pitch of the fretted
12th fret and then adjust the difference.
•
If the fretted note is higher than the harmonics note, the string length from the 12th fret to
the bridge is too
short
. The string saddle must therefore be screwed further
back
.
•
If the fretted note is lower than the harmonics note, the string length from the 12th fret to
the bridge is too
long
. In this case, the string saddle must be screwed further
forward
.
As soon as the instrument is tuned, the neck curve is adjusted, the string action is adapted to the
respective playing style and all strings intonated correctly, you hold a completely playable electric
guitar in your hands!
