Set-up
Your Parker PDF model is designed to be easy to set-up to your individual taste. It is important to keep a guitar in good playing order, so regular care and set-up practices
are highly recommended to get the most out of your instrument. You may need to periodically set-up your instrument due to varying weather and temperature conditions.
Normally, 3-4 times a year is optimal. Regular set-up work will prevent any warping from causing permanent damage to the instrument.
Adjusting string height and intonation
Adjusting string height is a very easy process.. Many players have different string height preferences, as slightly higher action can help you with an aggressive attack.
Lower string action is more suited for detailed chords and to ease playability. Lower string action may result in slight string buzz. Proper intonation is also the key to
staying in tune, and ensuring your notes are true and in the right place.
For Parker PDF models that feature our Parker Tremolo system:
String height is always adjusted by raising and lowering the bridge- never by adjusting the truss rod. Adjusting the truss rod is only for fixing the pitch of the neck (or
forward/back bow of the neck)
Adjustments for the bridge are made from the backside of the guitar, adjustment points are located through the back control cavity cover with the provided wrenches.
