Note: It’s a good idea to loosen the strings prior to making
any truss rod adjustment. If you don’t have feeler gauges,
don’t give up. You can approximate the gap, which is
about the thickness of a regular business card and a piece
of paper put together.

To adjust the truss rod, use the hex wrench supplied with
your instrument
(Figure D)
. If neck is too concave (Figure A),
turn the truss rod nut clock-wise. If neck is too convex
(Figure B), turn the truss rod nut counter clock-wise. Check
your tuning, then re-check the gap with the feeler gauge.
Note: Adjust in small increments of only 1/4 turn at a time,
and allow time for the wood to settle before adjusting again.

If you meet excessive resistance, if your neck needs constant
adjustment, or you’re not comfortable adjusting it yourself,
take your instrument to an Authorized FMIC Service Center.
String Height Adjustment (Action) for Electric Guitars
First, check your tuning. Then, using your ruler, measure
the distance between the bottom of each string and the
top of the 17th fret. Using the 1.5mm hex wrench, adjust
the bridge saddles to height (Figure E), according to the
recommendations of the chart below, then re-tune. Don’t be
afraid to experiment with the height a little bit, until it feels
right. If you play with a light touch, you can get away with
lower action. If you play hard, you’ll need a little higher action to
avoid fret buzz and rattles.
