The MaxConnect bridge can be
easily adjusted for string height
(action) and string length (intona-
tion). To lower the action of
either the treble or bass strings,
turn the appropriate bridge post
clock clockwise with the supplied
tool. To raise the action, turn the
appropriate bridge post counter
clockwise. The MaxConnect is
designed to fit the bridge posts
tightly, so don’t adjust one side
too far without also adjusting the
other.
Changes in neck relief, string action, or string gauges can all change
intonation. Luckily, the MaxConnect bridge provides a wide range of
intonation adjustment. You’ll need either a good tuner or good ears to
verify correct intonation. For each string, just compare the pitch of the
note fretted at the 12
th
fret to the pitch of the 12
th
fret harmonic. If the
fretted note is flat (lower than the harmonic), you’ll need to make the
string shorter by turning the intonation adjust screw clockwise. If the
fretted note is sharp (higher than the harmonic), you’ll need to make the
string longer by turning the intonation adjust screw counter clockwise.
The height of Three-90 and CoAxe pickups adjust the same way—by
turning the mounting screws either clockwise (down, lower output) or
counter clockwise (up, higher output). Remember to leave plenty of
clearance for the vibrating strings.
