Please read the instructions | |

operation and adjustment of | |
the D-Tuner. | “D” position |
1. Loosen the locking topnut screw for the low-E string.
2. Adjust the D-Tuner to the “D” position by pulling it back (away from the tremolo).
3.Turn the fine-tuning adjustment screw for the low-E string counterclockwise until it stops. Then, turn the fine-tuning adjustment screw clockwise approxi- mately one full turn. This will allow proper travel for the D-Tuner.
4.Using the tuning machine, stretch and retune the low-E string to “D.” Then, tighten the locking topnut screw and fine tune the “D” using the fine-tuning adjustment screw.
5.Slide the D-Tuner forward (toward the bridge) while applying slight downward pressure. The D-Tuner will now be in the “E” position. The fine-tuning screw will now be positioned on the top, flat surface of the D-Tuner.
6.Check the tuning of the low-E string.
7.If the low-E string is out of tune, use the supplied 1.5mm hex wrench to turn the set screw on the D-Tuner clock- wise if the pitch is flat, or counterclockwise if the pitch is sharp.
8.Pull the D-Tuner back to the “D” position and check tun- ing. Push it back to the “E” position, check tuning and readjust the set screw if necessary.
9.Once the set screw on the D-Tuner is correctly adjusted, use only the fine-tuning screw for tuning. (The fine-tun- ing screw will simultaneously tune both notes in either position.)
It is recommended that the D-Tuner, fine-tuning Note adjustment screw and bridge saddle be
cleaned and lubricated to ensure smooth oper- ation. The saddle should be allowed to pivot up and down freely to ensure proper operation of the D-Tuner.
Changing string gauges or deviation from proper pitch (A-440) will necessitate readjustment of the D-Tuner.
