If fretted pitch is higher than harmonic, saddle must be moved backward to lengthen string. Turn clockwise Bridge saddle When Higher than harmonic Adjustment screw If fretted pitch is lower than harmonic, saddle must be moved forward to shorten string. Turn counter-clockwise When Lower than harmonic Bridge saddle Adjustment screw 5 VIBRATO SYSTEM TRS-PRO/101 (part 1) When changing strings it is necessary to cut off the ball ends of the strings. Following is the procedure for changing strings and adjusting the vibrato system: 1) Using the supplied hexagonal wrench, loosen the three hexagonal screws on the lock above the nut. (illustration -- A) 2) Loosen the individual string locks using the supplied hexagonal wrench. (illustration -- B) After locking the strings, make sure that the fine tuning thumb screws are in the middle of their range of travel. Three springs are factory installed and we recommend that these springs be adjusted so that the vibrato bridge plate is parallel to the top of the guitar when it is tuned to correct pitch. Tighten Loosen 7) Lock the strings above the nut. (illustration -- A) 8) Use the fine tuning thumb screw to tune the guitar to the correct pitch.

(illustration -- D) 2) Slide the saddles by hand to adjust the length of each string. 3) When the intonation is correct, tighten the hexagonal screw in front of each saddle to ensure that its position stays stationary. (illustration -- D) 7 BRIDGE/SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENTS For best results the bridge should always be adjusted so it is parallel to the top surface of the guitar as shown in illustration (below). This position is maintained by opposing tension between the strings and the claw springs.
