TIGHT-END BRIDGE

The Tight-End bridge is designed to directly transmit string vibration to the guitar body

by locking the saddles onto the base plate. The top side of the bridge has a smooth fin-

ish. This means that if you play hard, the Tight-Edge bridge will support you and your

hands.

Adjusting the action

With the Tight-End bridge, the saddle height can be adjusted individually. To adjust the

saddle height, loosen the saddle lock screw (Fig. 1 B) with a 2 mm Allen key and turn the

adjustment screw for the string (Fig. 1 A) with a 2 mm Allen key.

Adjusting the intonation

To adjust the saddle position, loosen the saddle lock screws (Fig. 1 B) with a 2 mm

Allen key and turn the intonation adjustment screw (Fig. 2 C) with a Philips screwdriver.

In order to tune the guitar and check the intonation. Repeat these adjustments until the

required intonation is reached.

Caution

After adjusting the action and intonation, tighten the saddle lock screw (Fig. 1 B)

to lock the saddle. After locking the saddle, gently tighten the intonation adjust-

ment screws (Fig. 2 C) (to the extent that there is no effect on the saddle position).

This has the effect of preventing loosening due to the effects of string vibration,

etc. Tightening the screws more than necessary can lead to damage.

Replacing the strings

Changing strings by threading them from the back of the guitar body through the string

anchoring ferrules.
