Double Locking Tremolo - Changing Your Strings

First, detune the 6th string (the thickest, top string) using the machine head tuner—two or three turns should remove the tension on the string. Then, using a 3mm Allen wrench, unlock the corresponding string clamp located at the nut. Then, back on the bridge, reset each Fine Tuner to its middle range. Now, you are ready to remove the 6th string.

Using a 3mm Allen wrench, unclamp the 6th string at the saddle by loosening the saddle lock screws at the rear of the tremolo. Remove string by sliding it out of the nut and unwrapping from the tuning ma- chine head. Note: Broken string pieces can be removed easily with tweezers or a magnetic screwdriver.

Using wire cutters, remove the ball end and extra wrapping of the replace-

 

ment string. (New strings should be free of twists, kinks and bends that

 

can cause sound irregularities or breakage.) Insert the freshly cut end of

 

the string into the saddle; tighten the saddle lock screws at the rear of the

 

tremolo until snug (View 1). TIP: For easier access to the tremolo screws,

 

and to protect the finish of your guitar, tilt the rear of the tremolo upward

 

using an attached tremolo arm (whammy bar). Do not overtighten the

 

screws or you may permanently damage the saddles or strip the Allen

 

sockets.
