PICKUP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 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 adjust-
ments gradually. Allow five to ten minutes for setting, and check
the curvature after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut.
The height of the pickup (i.e. distance from the strings) affects
gain — the higher the pickup, the louder the sound, and vice ver-
sa. 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.
For optimal performance, we recommend measuring a distance of
2-3 millimeters between the bottom of string and the of the top of
adjustable pole piece while fretting the highest fret.
NOTE: Unless you have experience with truss rods, we sug-
gest that you entrust this adjustment to your dealer.
