Bridge Components

The bridge consists of three main parts:

1. StoptailAssembly: The stoptail can

be adjusted up or down to change the

bridge height. It holds the individual

saddle pieces, which can be shifted

forward or backward to adjust the

intonation.

2. Bezel: The bezel sits in a shallow pocket

in the top of the guitar and houses the

stoptail assembly.

3. BottomPlate: The bottom plate is

accessible from the back of the guitar and

sandwiches the guitar body between the

plate and the bezel.

Action Adjustment Quick Tips

 • Twoanchornuts(Fig 2) hold the bridge

assembly together. Do not remove them

or the bridge will come off.

 • Threeactionheightadjustmentscrews

(Fig 3) are used to lower and raise the

action. Two are located on the outside of

the bottom plate (treble and bass) and

one in the center toward the back. The center screw is used to stabilize the bridge, not raise or lower it.

It should be set after the desired bridge height is secured.
