TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which
automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is
possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the
machines. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw, as
illustrated.
Clockwise rotation tightens the machine. The tuning machines
should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but can turn
smoothly. This adjustment is normally unnecessary, and exces-
sive tightening can lead to premature tuning machine wear.
