Adjusting the tremolo attachment angle
The tremolo attachment angle is adjusted
by changing the balance between the string
tension and the tension of the tremolo springs
installed on the back of the guitar body. You'll
obtain the optimal performance by adjusting
this so that the tremolo is approximately
horizontal to the surface of the guitar body.
1.
With the guitar tuned correctly, check
the angle of the tremolo.
2.
If the tremolo is tilted toward the front,
insert a Philips screwdriver through the slit
in the tremolo spring cover on the back of
the body, and tighten the screw to increase
the tension of the tremolo springs.
3.
If the tremolo is tilted toward the rear,
loosen the screw to decrease the
tension of the tremolo springs.
※ The tremolo angle adjustment will affect the tuning,
because the balance of tension between the strings
and the springs will change each time you adjust
the tension of the tremolo springs. You'll need to
tune repeatedly while making this adjustment.
Tremolo springs
When the guitar is shipped from the factory, it is set up with three tremolo springs installed in parallel.
If the balance of tension between the strings and the tremolo springs has changed signifi cantly, such
as when you've switched string gauges or are using a dropped tuning, you may need to change the
number of tremolo springs or change the way in which they are installed.
1.
Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the spring lock.
2.
If you want to increase the tension, install the outer two
tremolo springs diagonally.
3.
If you want to decrease the tension, remove the center
tremolo spring.
If you want to install four or more tremolo springs, attach them
using the screw holes that were being used to attach the spring
lock. (It will no longer be possible to attach the spring lock.)
Memo
• Loosen the strings suffi ciently before you install or remove tremolo springs. Be aware that if you
remove all of the springs, the tremolo unit will detach from the guitar.
• To reattach the tremolo, insert the knife edge of the tremolo securely into the groove of the stud bolts,
and then install the tremolo springs.
