Double Locking Tremolo - Changing Your Strings

First, detune the 6th string (the thickest, top string) using the machine head tuner—two or three turns

should remove the tension on the string. Then, using a 3mm Allen wrench, unlock the corresponding

string clamp located at the nut. Then, back on the bridge, reset each Fine Tuner to its middle range.

Now, you are ready to remove the 6th string.

Using a 3mm Allen wrench, unclamp the 6th string at the saddle by loosening the saddle lock

screws at the rear of the tremolo. Remove string by sliding it out of the nut and unwrapping from the

tuning machine head. Note: Broken string pieces can be removed easily with tweezers or a magnetic

screwdriver.

Using wire cutters, remove the ball end and extra wrapping of the

replacement string. (New strings should be free of twists, kinks and

bends that can cause sound irregularities or breakage.) Insert the freshly

cut end of the string into the saddle; tighten the saddle lock screws at

the rear of the tremolo until snug (View 1). TIP: For easier access to the

tremolo screws, and to protect the finish of your guitar, tilt the rear of the

tremolo upward using an attached tremolo arm (whammy bar). Do not

overtighten the screws or you may permanently damage the saddles or

strip the Allen sockets.
