Intonation

For

optimum

results,

these

adjustments

should

be

made

when

the

strings

are

in

new

condition.

With

the

pickup

selector

switch

set

to

the

neck

pickup

position

and

the

tone

and

volume

controls

at

the

maximum

settings,

tune

the

guitar.

Check

the

intonation

of

each

string

with

an

electronic

tuner

by

playing

the

open

string

harmonic

at

the

12th

fret

and

comparing

this

note

with

the

note

produced

by

fretting

the

string

at

the

12th

fret.

The

pitch

should

be

the

same

+

or

-

1

cent

(1/100th

of

a

semitone).

If

the

fretted

note

is

sharp,

the

string

must

be

lengthened

by

moving

the

saddle

back;

if

the

fretted

note

is

fl

at,

the

string

must

be

shortened

by

moving

the

saddle

forward.

After

each

adjustment,

retune

and

repeat

this

test

until

both

notes

produce

the

same

pitch.

The

procedures

for

doing

this

are

as

follows:

Note:

A

small

adjustment

in

the

position

of

the

bridge

saddle

makes

a

noticeable

difference

in

the

string,

so

move

the

bridge

saddles

in

small

increments.

American

Standard

Adjust

the

Phillips

head

screw

at

the

end

of

the

bridge

clockwise

to

lengthen

the

string

and

counterclockwise

to

shorten,

depending

on

whether

the

string

is

sharp

or

fl

at

in

relation

to

the

12th

fret

harmonic.

Retune

and

retest

each

adjustment.

Deluxe

Fine

Tuning

Adjust

the

Phillips

head

screw

at

the

end

of

the

bridge

clockwise

to

lengthen

the

string

and

counterclockwise

to

shorten,

depending

on

whether

the

string

is

sharp

or

fl

at

in

relation

to

the

12th

fret

harmonic.

Retune

and

retest

each

adjustment.

adjust-

ment.

Since

this

bridge

has

two

strings

sharing

one

saddle,

it

is

necessary

to

set

the

intonation

so

that

an

average

between

the

two

strings

is

achieved.
