PICKUP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The height of the pickup (i.e. distance from the strings) affects gain - the higher the pickup, the louder the sound, and vice versa. If the pickup is set too high, sustain and playability will suffer because of the magnetic pull on the strings. Adjust overall height using the screws located at either side of the pickup. The polepieces should normally be about 2 or 3 millimeters from the strings. Pickup adjustment screws TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT The curvature of the neck should be slightly concave. Clockwise rotation of the nut tightens the rod and corrects for too much concave bow. Counterclockwise rotation of the nut loosens the rod and corrects for too much convex bend. Make any adjustments gradually. Allow five to ten minutes for setting, and check the curvature after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut. If too much convex bend If too much concave bow concave convex Pickup adjustment screws NOTE: Unless you have experience with truss rods, we suggest that you entrust this adjustment to your dealer. 6 @F@C@FO@PNJOEE
