After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece

side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge

is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the strings

and carefully re-align the bridge using both hands.

If, after tuning, the tailpiece is leaning to one side,

slightly loosen the strings and use both hands to adjust

the tailpiece so its sides are straight and even. After the

tailpiece is adjusted, increase string tension evenly and

retune. (Refer to the illustration shown below.)

• Make sure that the tail wire is properly posi-

tioned in the grooves on the saddle.

Caution

The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The 1st

string is tuned to G, the 2nd string to D, the 3rd string

to A, and the 4th string to E.

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch

of each string using the tuning pegs.

 Tuning machine tension adjustment

The tuning machine’s tension that regulates the amount of pres-

sure required to turn the tuners can be adjusted using the sup-

plied Allen wrench.

* If the tuning machine turns with very slight pressure

Rotate the adjustment screw to the right (clockwise: 

A

).

* If the tension is tight and the tuning machine is hard to turn

Rotate the adjustment screw to the left (counter-clock-

wise: 

B

).
