Make sure 4th string the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. (Make sure the logo side of the bridge is facing the tailpiece.) [Looking from the tailpiece] • Make sure the entire underside of the bridge’s legs is in contact with the pickup.

When rotating the peg, apply firm pressure towards the head stock. • After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the strings and carefully re-align the bridge using both hands. • An adjuster is provided on the 1st string for fine tuning the string’s pitch. • Do not over-tighten or over-loosen the adjuster.
