PDF MaxxFly Tremolo
The MaxxFly Spring Vibrato is a high quality, stable system that can be operated in three modes:
1.
Balanced (Free-Floating):
In this mode the bridge can bend up and down. The Stop Screw must be adjusted (lowered) so that it won't Prevent the bridge from
bending up. The HOME position of the bridge is set by adjusting the Claw Screws (balancing the tension of the coil Springs).
2.
Bend Down Only:
The MaxxFly comes set up from the Parker Guitar factory in Bend Down mode. In this mode the bridge can only bend Down and returns HOME to
rest lightly against the Stop Screw. The springs must be tensioned slightly more than in the balanced mode so That the bridge at HOME is held against the Stop
Screw. Unlike the Balanced mode, you can rest your hand on the bridge without throwing it out of tune.
3.
Tremolo Restrained:
This mode is similar to Bend Down mode. HOME position is also setup by contact with the Stop Screw. Additional spring force is Applied against
the stop by tightening the Claw Screws. The bridge will still bend down, but with a stiffer feel. In this mode you can bend a String while other strings are sounded and
not change their pitch. Like the Bend Down mode, resting your hand on the bridge will not throw it out of tune.
No matter which mode you prefer to use, it's quickest to tune, set intonation, and adjust the action of your Maxxfly PDF when it's in the Fixed Mode.
Stop Screw
Using the larger 1/8" T-handle Allen wrench supplied with your guitar, the Stop Screw can be adjusted to limit or stop the bridge from bending up to any desired amount.
NOTE: When you raise or lower the Action you should also raise or lower the Stop Screw by the same amount (unless the Stop Screw has already been fully lowered for the
balanced mode)
