Adjusting the Action

Setting the string action that is right for you starts at the nut. The slots should already be close, but you

might want to make some adjustments.

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

bottom of the string should be about .006 or just about the thickness of two sheets of paper. If the gap

is wider than .006" you should deepen the slot with a small needle file. DO NOT FILE TOO DEEP! Make

sure when you file, the file is angled down toward the headstock. This will ensure the string sits on the

edge of the nut closest to the fretboard.

Repeat the procedure for the remaining 5 strings.

This will adjust the height of the strings over the 12

lowering the bridge. This adjustment is a matter of personal preference. There should be a gradual

increase in height from the first string to the sixth string.

Each 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 the first string

is 1/8" over the pickup pole and the sixth string is about 3/16" over its pole.

Adjustments should be made after all of the above have been accomplished. Set the pickup selector

switch in the middle position, and turn the volume and tone controls to their maximum settings. Check

tuning. Check each string at the 12th fret, harmonic to fretted note (make sure you are depressing the

string evenly to the fret, not the fingerboard). If sharp, lengthen the string by adjusting the saddle back.

If flat, shorten the string by moving the saddle forward. Remember, guitars are tempered instruments!

Re-tune, play and make further adjustments as needed.
