ACTION
Action (bridge / string height) is adjusted by two screws from the back of the guitar (illustration).
Using the larger T-handle Allen wrench, turn the screws clockwise to lower the bridge, and coun-
terclockwise to raise it. Also, it's good practice to alternate between the two screws, taking no
more than ¼ turn at a time.
TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT
If you're unfamiliar with adjusting a truss rod, we STRONGLY suggest that you have this adjust-
ment made by a qualified guitar technician.
The truss rod adjuster wheel is easily accessible. To adjust the truss rod, use the 1/8" steel rod
supplied with your guitar. Rotate the wheel towards the high E string to tighten the truss rod and
towards the low E string to loosen it.
INTONATION
To set the intonation (string length), loosen the screws that hold the bridge saddles using the
smaller T-handle Allen wrench supplied with the guitar. If a string plays sharp, slide the saddle
back to make the string longer. If it plays flat, slide it forward. Do not over-tighten the saddle-
screws. The Piezo-electric elements in the bridge are delicate, so be careful. The eraser end of a
pencil is a safe tool for sliding the saddles. No hitting!!! (Be nice.)
