ATTACHING THE TREMOLO ARM
1 The tremolo arm employs a one-piece snap-in design with an adjustable-torque cap.
Insert the tremolo arm into the arm socket of the base plate.
2 Tighten the torque adjustment cap to secure the tremolo arm.
The tremolo arm will become tighter as you tighten the torque adjustment cap.
ADJUSTING THE TREMOLO ATTACHMENT ANGLE
The tremolo attachment angle is adjusted by changing the balance
between the string tension and the tension of the tremolo springs
installed on the back of the guitar body.
Youʼll obtain the optimal performance by adjusting this so that the
tremolo is approximately horizontal to the surface of the guitar body.
1 With the guitar tuned correctly, check the angle of the tremolo.
2 If the tremolo is tilted toward the front, insert a Philips screwdriver through
the slit in the tremolo spring cover on the back of the body, and tighten the
screw to increase the tension of the tremolo springs.
3 If the tremolo is tilted toward the rear, loosen the screw to decrease the ten-
sion of the tremolo springs.
※ The tremolo angle adjustment will affect the tuning, because the balance of tension between the strings and the
springs will change each time you adjust the tension of the tremolo springs. Youʼll need to tune repeatedly while
making this adjustment.
