STRING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Six individual bridges are located under the snap-on bridge cover (Fig. 3). Each has two height adjusting screws (use allen-wrench provided). To raise the strings turn the screws clockwise. To lower the strings turn the screws counter-clockwise. Low string action makes for easier playing but if the strings are too low they will buzz on the frets. STRING LENGTH ADJUSTMENT There are six length adjusting screws (Fig. 3). If a string sounds flat when played at the twelfth fret compared with the open string harmonic at the same fret, turn the screw counter-clockwise to shorten the string. If a string sounds sharp to the harmonic, turn the screw clockwise to lengthen the string. Height Adjustment Screws (12) • ® 0 Length Adjustment Screws (6) Figure 3 BRIDGE ASSEMBLY 3
