Setting The String Action - Yamaha TRBX174EW Owner's Manual

in fret noise.
Adjust so that the space between the string and the last fret
measures as follows:
Individual height adjustments for each string are provided in
the form of two set screws on each saddle. Clockwise rotation
raises saddle height and counter-clockwise lowers the saddle.
