VIBRATO
IMPORTANT! Always tune your guitar with the step-stop in the DOWN
position (i.e. with the step-stop in the HOMEposition). Don’t ever
tune it with the step-stop in the UPposition. Most problems that
are encountered with this vibrato system are caused by tuning the guitar
when the bridge is not in the HOMEposition. It is also veryimportant to
use a spring matched to the string size in use.
Our vibrato system offers all the options and flexibility, a guitarist could
want. The two controls known as the step-stop and the balance wheel are used
to select from the three modes of operation; balanced, bend down only, or
fixed.
One tool is needed to adjust the step-stop and the balance wheel, in order to
select one of the three modes. This tool is the 1/8” diameter, 5” long
chrome bar.
