Guitar Bridges - Ibanez Electric Guitar Instruction Manual

Below is the standard location of the bridge for AF, AFS and AG guitars.
Adjust the location to obtain proper intonation.
PICKUPS
The output level of the instrument as well
as the quality of the signal can be affected
by the pickup height. Pickup height should
be adjusted until the volume of neck and
bridge pickups are almost equal with both
volumes wide open. The volume may drop
drastically if the pickup height is too low.
As the pickups are magnetic, fret buzzing
and distortion may occur if the pickup is
too close to the strings. Use a small screwdriver to make adjustments to raise or lower the pickup.
*Instruments that have adjustable pole pieces can be adjusted to balance the output of each string.

GIBRALTAR CUSTOM BRIDGE
The height adjustment can be adjusted by 4 pcs of 2.0mm of allen screws (B) on the
bridge. Since the adjustment screws are locked by the bridge lock screw (A), you must
loosen the bridge lock screw by 3.0mm Allen wrench before adjustment.
Each saddle is also locked by a saddle lock screw (C). To adjust the intonation, use a
2.0mm Allen wrench to loosen the saddle locke screws, and then adjust the Intonation
screw (D) by a 2.0mm Allen wrench. When you are finished with the adjustment, lock the
saddle and tune the guitar.
