4. INTONATION
The saddles on the bridge can be adjusted to compensate for the pitch
modification that occurs when the string is stretched as it is fretted. This
adjustment is made by tightening or loosening the set screws at the rear of
the bridge (see Figure 7). Start by tuning your guitar and sounding a harmonic
chime directly above the twelfth fret on the sixth string. Now fret the sixth
string at the twelfth fret and compare that pitch to the harmonic. If the fretted
note is higher than the harmonic pitch tighten the set screw to lengthen the
string. If the fretted note is lower than the harmonic, loosen the set screw to
shorten the string length. When the harmonic and the fretted note sound the
same note, the saddle is at the correct position. Repeat this procedure for the
other five strings.
5. PICKUP HEIGHT
Each humbucking pickup is adjustable on the bass and treble sides. Finding
the best combination of tone and volume will require some experimentation. A
good place to start is to adjust the pickup height so that the first string is about
1/8" over the pickup pole and the sixth string is about 3/16" over its pole.
Electric Guitar setup is an art in itself. For more detailed discussion we highly
recommend searching "Electric Guitar Setups” on the internet. There you will
find a many experience people sharing their knowledge and techniques on
doing this.
SPECIAL NOTE: You of course have the option to upgrade any hardware
you want at any time should you feel it necessary. PickUps are one of
the most common upgraded items on a guitar. If you wish to upgrade
the pickups on this OR ANY guitar, Fleming Music Australia HIGHLY
RECOMMENDS upgrading to LACE PICKUPS. See our website for more
details.
