Push the sixth string down between second and third fret. The space between

the top of the first fret and the bottom of the string should be about .006" or

just about the thickness of the paper that these instructions are written on. If

the gap is wider than .006" you should deepen the slot with a small needle file

until it is correct. DO NOT FILE TOO DEEP! If the slot is too deep you can fill

the slots with a mixture of white plastic sanding dust and super glue and then

re-shape the slot.

Repeat this same procedure for the other 5 strings. The action at the nut is

either right or wrong; it is not a matter of personal preference.

Now let's adjust the height of the strings over the 12th fret. Minor adjustments

in the string action can be made by raising or lowering the individual saddles

on the tremolo bridge with the small hex key that has been provided with your

FLEMING Guitar Kit. Following is a chart to assist you. This action adjustment

is a matter of personal preference. There should be a gradual increase in

height from the first to the sixth string.

Low Action

Medium Action

High Action

Action can also be adjusted by changing the angle of the neck. This can be

done by inserting small shims between the neck and the body to increase or

decrease the neck angle.

4. INTONATION

The saddles on the tremolo bridge can be adjusted to compensate for the

pitch modification that occurs when the string is stretched as it is fretted. This

adjustment is made by tightening or loosening the set screws at the rear of

the tremolo bridge.

Start by tuning your guitar and sounding a harmonic chime directly above the

twelfth fret on the sixth string. Now fret the sixth string at the twelfth fret and

compare that pitch to the harmonic. If the fretted note is higher than the

harmonic pitch tighten the set screw to lengthen the string. If the fretted note

is lower than the harmonic, loosen the set screw to shorten the string length.

When the harmonic and the fretted note sound the same note, the saddle is at

the correct position. Repeat this procedure for the other five strings.

5. PICKUP HEIGHT

Each single coil pickup is adjustable on the bass and treble sides. Finding the

best combination of tone and volume will require some experimentation. A

good place to start is to adjust the pickup height so that the first string is about

1/8" over the pickup pole and the sixth string is about 3/6 "over its pole.

Electric Guitar setup is an art in itself. For more detailed discussion we highly

recommend doing an internet search on "Electric Guitar Setups". There is a

huge amount of free information available for free on the internet today.
