SETTING THE STRING ACTION

Set one end of the 15cm rule on top of the Final fret with the flat side of the rule against the string and measure the space be- tween the top of the Final fret and bottom of each open string. The recommended height for each string should be as above.

Individual height adjustments for each string are provided in the form of two set screws on each saddle. Clockwise rotation raises saddle height and counter-clockwise lowers the saddle.
