Things to Watch Out For:
Electronics:
Please don’t attempt to make “experimental” trim adjustments except under direct on-the-phone guidance by a
Moog factory technician. (It’s pretty much impossible to get back to proper adjustment “by ear”.) There are no
opportunities to improve performance by misaligning these trims.
The components on the PCB are very delicate and easily damaged by ordinary accidental motions - lightly dragging
a pair of pliers across the PCB can do a whole lot of damage for example. Please take care not to leave any small
conductive “bits” in the guitar - sections of guitar string, bits of wire, etc. Anything like that could short out
components on the PCB.
The PCB is intended to “float” within the cavity. It should be pressed down into the cavity so the soft foam pads
around the sides of the cavity lightly secure it.
It is normal for the PCB and portions of the cavity cover to become noticeably warm during play. The internal
temperature is electronically limited to a safe value and the limit will probably never be reached under normal use.
Saddles:
More than the usual care is required to make intonation adjustments at the saddles. Each saddle is a delicate
piezo-electric sensor that can be damaged by excessive stress and strain forces. Please remove all tension from the
string and also release the center-saddle locking screw before adjusting saddle position and/or height. Do not
adjust saddles under string tension.
For good string tone, please make sure that both saddle height adjustment set screws are in solid contact with the
bridge saddle platform. Each set screw should firmly support its corner of the saddle. These saddles should never
be tilted.
