SET UP

Put on the strings and tune to pitch.

1. TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT

The adjustable truss rod in the neck of your FLEMING Guitar has been shop

adjusted and should not require any change. If the neck should develop a dip

or hollow spot over time it can be removed by tightening the truss rod

adjustment nut that protrudes from the base of the headstock just above the

nut.

- A 'back bow' or 'hog-back' can be removed by loosening the nut. Great care

should be taken with truss rod adjustments where as little as 1/4 of a turn can

vastly alter the shape of a neck.

2. STRING ACTION

The string action refers to the height of the strings above the frets. If the

action is too low, the strings will buzz on the frets. If it is too high the guitar will

be difficult to play.

3. ACTION AT THE NUT

Setting the string action that is right for you starts at the string nut. The slots at

the string nut should already be close to perfection but you might want to

make some adjustment. Here's how to do it!
