After the neck is adjusted to the desired line, the action should be adjusted at the
bridge.
BRIDGE ADJUSTMENT AND INTONATION
After your neck has been adjusted, set the action (bridge saddle height) at the bridge
using the allen wrench provided with the instrument. This will vary according to your
playing style and personal preference. An average action will have the treble strings
about 3/16" to 1/4" from the 21st fret and the bass side 3/32" from the 21st fret
(measured from top of fret to bottom of string), and should generally follow the radius
of the fingerboard.
Once the neck and bridge adjustments are set, intonation should be checked. This is
best done with a tuner. Tune the harmonic on the 12th fret. Then fret the string at the
12th fret (just behind the fret with normal playing pressure). If the fretted note is sharp
to the harmonic, adjust the bridge saddle towards the back of the bridge. If it is flat,
the saddle will need to move towards the pickups.
