Tune-O-Matic™/Stop Tailpiece - Changing Your Strings
To replace strings, thread the new strings through the string holes located on the back of the tailpiece and bring them up and over the saddle. The intonation can be adjusted by moving the saddle forward or backward using a Phillips head screwdriver on the adjustment screw at the rear of the bridge. Raise or lower the two height adjustment spinners on either side of the bridge to adjust string height.
The height adjustment of the bar tailpiece can be raised or lowered by using the two height adjustment studs on either side of the tailpiece.
Tuning Machine Adjustments
Over time, tuners can become loose. Get in the habit of checking the tension with every string change. If you notice a change in the tension of a tuner, use a small flathead or Phillips screwdriver to tighten it (turn clockwise) or loosen it (turn counterclockwise) accordingly. Warning: While the screw should be snug, do not overtighten, as you may strip the screw.
