PICKUP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT
Proper pickup adjustment ensures maximum output level and uniform response on all strings. To make adjustments, follow the directions below:
Using your left hand, depress each string at the last fret, while setting one end of the 15cm rule on top of the pickup section directly under each string. The flat side of the rule should be against the string. The space between the bottom of each string and the top of the corresponding pickup section should be 2mm.
The curvature of the neck should be slightly concave. Clockwise rotation of the nut tightens the rod and corrects for too much concave bow. Counterclockwise rotation of the nut loosens the rod and corrects for too much convex bend. Make any adjustments gradually. Allow five to ten minutes for setting, and check the curvature after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut.
