Replacing the strings
Loosen the pressure pad screws (Fig. 10 P) on the locking nut with a 3 mm Allen key and
remove the strings from the tuning machines. Loosen the string stopper screw (Fig. 9 M)
on the tremolo unit with a 3 mm Allen key and remove the string from the saddle. Cut off
the ball end of the new string with an end nipper or wire cutter (Fig. 11). Insert the cut side
of new string between the saddle and the string holder block. Tighten the string stopper
screw to secure the string. Wind the string around the tuning machine and tune to pitch.
After tuning, tighten the pressure pad screw on the locking nut.
Caution
Before you tune a string, make sure that the string stopper screw is firmly
tightened.
Fine tuning
After locking the locking nut, fine tuning of each string can be carried by using fine tuners.
To allow maximum fine tuning adjustment, it is recommended that the fine tuners (Fig. 7 G)
be set to the middle position of the range of the movement before tuning.
