Assembly instructions 3.8 Adapt strings, neck relief, string action and pick-ups Stringing Fitting strings to the guitar is achieved by threading them through the tailpiece from the rear to the front via the bridge and the corresponding saddle. Wrap the end of the string a few times around the peg and first hand-tighten each string. - Page 19 Assembly instructions Adjusting the neck relief The neck is equipped with a steel truss rod that can be used to adjust the relief to your preferences. After tuning the strings, check the relief by pressing on the low E string at the first and twelfth fret.

- Page 21 Assembly instructions Adjusting the position of the strings Once the neck has the desired relief, you can use the screws for each saddle to adjust the string position to suit your taste. Here, too, the lower the strings, the easier they are to fret, but they will buzz more easily when the guitar is played.
