EDGE-PRO TREMOLO
Tremolo arm
The tremolo arm uses a snap-in/snap-out design that can be easily
attached or removed (Fig. 15). To attach the arm, push it firmly into
the arm socket until both of the white Teflon washers are complete-
ly hidden (Figures 16 and 17). The firmness of the arm attachment
can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of Teflon
washers. Remove a washer by pressing open the slit, or add a new
washer by pushing it diagonally into the slit making sure to observe
the correct orientation of the washer (Fig. 18).
* If the arm is no longer held firmly in place after prolonged use,
replace the old Teflon washers with new ones.
Note
The arm may be damaged if it is incompletely inserted into
the arm socket.
Adjusting the action
To adjust the entire tremolo unit up or down, use an Allen wrench
to turn the stud bolt (Fig. 19 A) located at the left and right of the
tremolo unit. (This cannot be adjusted for each individual string.)
Adjusting the intonation
Before you adjust the intonation, use a 3 mm Allen wrench to
loosen the pressure pad screws (Fig. 20) of the locking nut so
that the strings are released. Use a 2 mm Allen wrench to loosen
the saddle lock screws (Fig. 19 B) of each saddle, and move the
saddle. Firmly tighten the saddle lock screws, tune the guitar, and
then check the intonation. Repeat these adjustments until the in-
tonation is correct, and then tighten the pressure pad screws of
the locking nut.
• You may install each saddle lock screw in either the forward or rear
position, depending on the position of the saddle.
• The unit is designed so that the fine tuning screw will not operate
if the position of the saddle extends beyond the front edge of the
base plate.
Note
When loosening the saddle lock screws, you must loosen
the strings sufficiently before making adjustments.
