Casio PG-380 - Pickup Height Adjustment; Bridge Height Adjustment

Adjusting Guitar
Pickup Height
By adjusting pickup height, you
can make delicate adjustments in
sound characteristics. When the
pickup is brought closer to the
strings (raised), the sound be-
comes fuller, while when the
pickup is lowered the sound be-
comes thinner and sharper.
Adjusting Bridge
Height
Depending on the gauge of
strings you will be using, the
style of music and the type of
sound you want to obtain, you'll
probably want to adjust string
height (distance from the fret-
board and pickups), by raising
or lowering the bridge for each
string. A special wrench is
provided for this purpose.
To adjust pickup
height
@Turn the screws at both sides
of the pickup(s) to lower or
raise the pickup.
As a basic rule, the surface of
the pickups should be between
2 and 3mm from the strings
when the strings are held down
at the 22nd (top) fret.
To adjust bridge
height
@ The stud bolts in the
PG-380’s tremolo unit feature
an inner adjustment bolt which
can be used to fix the lowest
position of the stud bolt (Fig.
A). A stud bolt cannot be lo-
wered any further if its inner
bolt is tightened, however ad-
justment can be made by first
loosening the inner bolt. Refer
to the following procedures to
| adjust string height.
1) Insert the smallest accessory
hex wrench fully into the
stud bolt and loosen the in-
ner adjustment bolt.
Using the larger hex
wrench, turn the stud bolt
to adjust string height.
When you've adjusted
string height to the desired
position, use the small hex
wrench to tighten the inner
adjustment screw fully. This
will lock the bridge height.
