5 Truss Rod Adjustment Procedure Make sure guitar is tuned to pitch before making adjustments to the truss rod. The curvature of the neck should be slightly concave. The practice of sighting down the neck to see whether there is a bow or bend is unreli- able, and even experienced bass technicians can be misted by optical illusions.
6 Adjusting String Height (Action) String height is indicated by the space between the strings and frets. Changing this setting will change the manner in which the guitar plays. If the string height is too high, it will be difficult to play, and if the string height is too low, it will cause fret buzz.
7 Bridge Saddle of SGV 300/800 Electric Guitars The bridge saddles may lift off of the bridge plate from intonation adjustments or vibration while transporting. To adjust the saddles, loosen the strings and press the hexagonal nut down towards the bridge plate to set bridge saddles in their original position.
8 Setting the Intonation Adjust the intonation by comparing the note fingered at the 12th fret with the harmonic tone at the 12th fret. Tune so that both pitches are the same. It is recommended that you use good quality strobe tuning scope for this function.
9 Angle Adjustment for the Tremolo Unit Adjust the spring screw, located on the back side of the guitar body, so that the tail piece section of the tremolo unit is parallel to the body.
10 Adjust the Arm Tension Use the tension adjustment screw, located on the side of the tail piece, to adjust the tension that holds the tremolo arm in place. Insert the supplied Allen wrench into the tension adjustment screw on the side of the tail piece, and adjust the tension that holds the arm in place.
