SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT

Each VOX guitar is carefully adjusted at the factory for a wide range

of playing styles, with .010" to .046" strings. You may want to fine-

tune the playability for your own personal style, different string gauges,

or after seasonal environmental changes.

Before making any adjustments, you’ll need to verify the proper neck

relief. With the guitar tuned, press the low E string down at both the

and 22

frets (a capo comes in handy here) and check the distance

between the top of the 8

fret and the bottom of the low E string.

Ideally, you’ll see a gap about the same size as the diameter of the high

E string.

If you see too much relief, you need to increase the truss rod tension,

by turning the truss rod adjusting nut

clockwise with the included tool.

(Remove the cover first, of course!) If

you don’t see enough relief, or if the

string is touching the 8

fret, you need

to decrease the truss rod tension, by

turning the truss rod adjusting nut

counter-clockwise. Never force the

truss rod, and if you are uncomfort-

able or unfamiliar with this kind of

adjustment, take your guitar to a qualified service center.
