topnut screws to allow the strings to pass through the string
slots. Tune to pitch and tighten locking topnut screws until
snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.

String Installation

After loosening topnut screws (at headstock), use tuning
machines to remove string tension. Loosen string lock
bolts at bridge approximately three turns using the 3mm
hex wrench. Insert string end through tuning machines
and locking topnut. Cut off excess string length approxi-
mately one inch past string of lock bolts. Insert string end
into bridge saddle (between saddle housing and lock
block) and tighten until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Adjust fine tuning knobs to middle position. Stretch strings
and tune to pitch. Tighten locking topnut, stretch string
once more and fine-tune to pitch.

and Adjustment below.)

D- T uner Operation and Adjustment

The D-Tuner is a unique
pitch dropping device that
offers instant “Drop-D” tun-
ing by dropping the low-E
string down to D. This is
located on the low-E string
lock bolt, and is actuated by
simply sliding the mecha-
nism in (for E) or out (for D).
Please read the instructions
carefully to understand the
operation and adjustment of
the D-Tuner.

1. Loosen the locking topnut screw for the low-E string.
2. Adjust the D-Tuner to the “D” position by pulling it

back (away from the tremolo).

3. Turn the fine-tuning adjustment screw for the low-E

string counterclockwise until it stops. Then, turn
the fine-tuning adjustment screw clockwise approxi-
mately one full turn. This will allow proper travel for
the D-Tuner.
