necessary, insert the appropriate Allen socket wrench into the truss rod adjustment hole at the headstock of the guitar. Rotate the wrench gently until you feel it engage. If the neck is too concave, turn the Truss Rod Nut clockwise. If it is too straight or convex, turn the Truss Rod Nut counterclockwise. When you come to the "center" point of the Truss Rod adjustment, the Truss Rod will feel slack. Keep turning past that point to adjust the Truss Rod in the opposite direction. Periodically, check the gap with the feeler gauge and check the tuning for standard pitch. Caution: DO NOT continue adjusting if extreme resistance is felt while adjusting in either direction. Take the instrument to the nearest Authorized Dealer or Service Center for inspection. Note: The Truss Rod Nut should not be left loose, but should be tightened by at least a quarter turn. 3. Set Bridge Height The recommended string clearance at the 12th fret (measured by the distance between the bottom of the string and the top of the fret) is: Guitar: Strings 1 - 4: 5/64" (2mm) +/- 1/64" (.4mm) Strings 5 - 6: 3/32" (2.4mm) +/- 1/64" (.4mm) Bass: Strings 1 - 4: 3/32" (2mm) +/- 1/64" (.4mm) These dimensions are the factory recommended settings only. The optimum height adjustment varies from player to player due to differences in technique, playing styles, string gauges, etc. American Standard Each saddle is individually adjusted by using the .050" Allen wrench to turn the two Allen socket screws located on the top of the saddle. Clockwise raises and counterclockwise lowers. Be sure both height adjustment screws of each bridge saddle rest firmly against the bridge plate. Also be sure each saddle is parallel to the bridge plate after adjustment. Deluxe Fine Tuning Each saddle is individually adjusted by using the .050" Allen wrench to turn the two Allen socket screws located on the top of the saddle. Clockwise raises and counterclockwise lowers. Be sure both height adjustment screws of each bridge saddle rest firmly against the bridge plate. Also be sure each saddle is parallel to the bridge plate after adjustment. Floyd Rose® Pro, Floyd Rose® Original, Floyd Rose® II On these Floyd Rose units, the overall height of the bridge is set by adjusting the Pivot Posts located on either side of the bridge (Fig. 7). To raise the bridge height, simply adjust each Pivot Post by inserting the Allen wrench into the Pivot Post and rotating it counterclockwise to the desired height. To lower the bridge height, simply rotate each Pivot Post clockwise until the desired bridge height is reached. Remember to check for neck bow while adjusting bridge height as neck bow can effect string height. For best playability, try to keep the Pivot Posts adjusted evenly. 10
