Tremolo Claw Adjustment
The overall objective of this adjustment is to use the Tuners & claw tension adjustment to have the
bridge base elevated 1/16”, parallel to the Body and the guitar close to tune.
1.
Recheck the height of the Bridge base ensuring the base is 1/16” on both sides of the Bridge –
adjust if necessary.
2.
Tune the low E string with the tuner – check base and Body for being parallel. Tighten claw to
return to parallel if necessary. Ensure equal adjustment of both screws so claw remains parallel
to Tremolo block.
3.
Repeat 1&2 on remaining strings.
4.
Recheck tuning on all strings – repeat 1, 2 & 3 as necessary.
5.
Install the Tremolo cover over the Tremolo pocket using supplied 3/8” screws.
