adjustment for adjusting the pitch of the neck to the body. If your guitar has a hole located between the lower two neck mounting screws (or above the single neck mounting screw on 3-bolt models), then you can use the following procedure. If it does not, your neck angle can only be changed be removing the neck and adding a shim in the deepest part of the neck slot. Should this be the case, unless you are experienced in guitar repair it is recomended that you contact your nearest authorized Fender Service Center. You can custom adjust the neck angle to change the height of the strings from the body surface. This requires readjusting the bridge height to accommodate your playing style. If you wish to increase or decrease the amount of neck angle, be sure to check the height of the bridge saddles to ensure they are not already at the extreme limits of adjustment. They will determine how much neck angle you can have. You cannot increase or decrease the neck angle beyond the adjustment range of the bridge saddles. To adjust the neck angle, loosen the three/four neck mounting screws. The two screws nearest the edge of the body should be loosened about 1/4 turn each. The one/two screw(s) located toward the center of the body should be loosened approximately 2 turns. 18
