The tightness of the tremolo arm attachment can be adjusted by adding or
removing Tefl on washers. Using a larger number of washers will make the
attachment tighter, and removing all the washers will leave the arm free. The
Tefl on washers can be added or removed diagonally via the slit.
Memo
If the arm is no longer held fi rmly in place even after you
ʼ
ve added •
Tefl on washers, replace the old Tefl on washers with new ones.
ADJUSTING THE TREMOLO ATTACHMENT ANGLE
The tremolo attachment angle is adjusted by changing the balance between
the string tension and the tension of the tremolo springs installed on the back
of the guitar body. You
ʼ ll obtain the optimal performance by adjusting this so
that the tremolo is approximately horizontal to the surface of the guitar body.
1
With the guitar tuned correctly, check the angle of the tremolo.
2
If the tremolo is tilted toward the front, insert a Philips screwdriver through the
slit in the tremolo spring cover on the back of the body, and tighten the screw
to increase the tension of the tremolo springs.
3
If the tremolo is tilted toward the rear, loosen the screw to decrease the ten-
sion of the tremolo springs.
The tremolo angle adjustment will affect the tuning, because the balance
※
of tension between the strings and the springs will change each time you
adjust the tension of the tremolo springs. You
ʼ ll need to tune repeatedly
while making this adjustment.
TREMOLO SPRINGS
When the guitar is shipped from the factory, it is set up with three tremolo springs installed in parallel. If the balance of
tension between the strings and the tremolo springs has changed signifi cantly, such as when you
ʼ ve switched string
gauges or are using a dropped tuning, you may need to change the number of tremolo springs or change the way in
which they are installed.
1
Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the spring lock.
2
If you want to increase the tension, install the outer two tremolo springs
diagonally.
3
If you want to decrease the tension, remove the center tremolo spring.
If you want to install four or more tremolo springs, attach them using the
screw holes that were being used to attach the spring lock. (It will no longer
be possible to attach the spring lock.)
