ADJUSTABLE ARCH TOP BRIDGE
To adjust the string height, adjust the height of the entire bridge by using your
fi ngers to turn the thumb wheel screws (A) located at either side of the bridge.
(It is not possible to individually adjust the height of each string.)
To adjust the intonation, loosen the strings and move the entire bridge
forward or backward; then tune the guitar and check the intonation. Repeat
this adjustment until the intonation is correct. Take care that the bridge does
not fall over.
When replacing the strings, it is recommended that they be replaced one by
one so that the bridge does not become displaced.
Vintage Vibrato
Replace the strings one by one. Fix the ball end onto the post of the bar (B), extend the string over the bar, and then
wrap it around the peg. For a model with a retainer bar (A), VBX60/VBX80,
pass the string over the bar and then beneath the retainer bar before
wrapping it around the peg. While replacing strings, always pull the string
lightly toward the headstock and exercise care not to allow the ball-end
to go off the post. Check that the string is correctly placed on the saddle
while tuning. After completing tuning, proceed to replacement of the next
string. After fi nishing replacing all strings, carry out tuning again for the
entire unit.
Memo
Removing all strings at the same time may have a serious impact
on the state of each section of the guitar due to sudden changes
of tension imposed on the guitar. Be sure to replace the strings
one by one.
Tailpieces
QUIK CHANGE TAILPIECES
To adjust the height of the tailpiece, turn the stud bolt on the right and left
ends of the tailpiece with a slot head screwdriver or a coin.
To install a new string, pass it through the slot of the tailpiece and hook
the ball end into the back of the tailpiece.
