Fender Reissue 62 Jazzmaster Owners Manual - Page 14

Caution: DO NOT continue adjusting: 1) If extreme resistance is felt while adjusting in either direction, or 2) If the neck has a convex bow that remains when the truss rod nut is loosened. Take the instrument to the nearest Authorized Fender 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: Strings 1- 4: 5/64" (2mm) +/-1/64" (.4mm) Strings 5 - 6: 3/32" (2.4mm) +/-1/64" (.4mm) The above 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. Each saddle is individually adjusted by using 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. 12
