Do not overtighten! 9. Insert string into tuner. 10. Tune to pitch, stretch string with thumb and fingers, retune and repeat several times until the string will not detune. 11. Repeat this process for all strings before locking down the lock nut and fine tuning. FINE TUNING SCREWS SADDLE BASEPLATE INTONATION SCREWS GUITAR BODY SUSTAIN BLOCK STRING LOCK SCREWS SET UP This is the one step that will determine the feel or "action" of your guitar. A few things should be taken into consideration before setting the intonation. What type, brand and gauge strings are you going to use? How high do you want the strings from the fretboard? How much spring tension do you want (how high do you want the bridge to float)? These will need to be determined before you get started. 1. Strings: Any variation will alter the overall action and intonation, so be sure to have to settle on, and consistantly use a particular gauge and brand of string. 2. String Height: If your tremolo pivots on two mounting studs that go into the guitar body, an alien wrench is used to raise or lower the bridge. If your bridge is a vintage style or a bass, there are two alien wrench adjustments on each saddle that will raise and lower each string. Adjust it too high and you lose tone and intonation, too low and the frets will buzz and the pickups will rattle... not too cool huh. 3. Spring Tension: This adjustment is to set how high the tremolo is to float. The best setting, for intonation’s sake is exactly parallel to the body. Heavier strings will need more tension, lighter strings will need less. This will take quite a few retunings and a lot of patience. Need help? Check out our Tech Tips at FACTORY SPECS The following are Charvel's factory string height settings.The specs are measured by the distance between the bottom of the string and the top of the 12th fret. Please note that any problems that may arise from lowering the string height below our factory specifications, will not be covered by the Charvel warranty.

Set it too high and string buzzing may occur when playing in the upper register of the neck. Too low and a loss of sustain and output is likely. Another is that humbuckers need to be set level in order for for them to cancel out the hum properly. NECK ADJUSTMENT This adjustment is done first over any others and must be done for proper action, intonation and fretting. This is done with strings tuned to pitch. Fret instrument at 1st fret and at body/neck joint. The space between the top of the 8th fret and bottom of the string should be .020 or whatever you are comfortable with. Neck adjustments should be done ...
