TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE LOCKING NUT
(If applicable)
The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which
automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is
possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the
machines. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw, as il-
lustrated.
1) Remove the three hexagonal screws (A) that fix the Lock Pads.
2) Loosen the four screws (B) that attach the Nut Base to the neck.
3) Adjust the height by the two Height Adjustment Screws (C).
The Nut Base gets higher by clockwise rotation, and lower by
counterclockwise rotation.
4) After adjusting, tighten the four screws (B).
Clockwise screw rotation tightens the machine. The tuning ma-
chines should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but
can turn smoothly. This adjustment is normally unnecessary, and
excessive tightening can lead to premature tuning machine wear.
NOTE: As the height has been adjusted in the best condition
in the factory, please avoid the adjustment unless you
have suitable experience. We suggest that you entrust
this adjustment to your dealer.
