On

these

Floyd

Rose

units,

the

overall

height

of

the

bridge

is

set

by

adjusting

the

Pivot

Posts

located

on

either

side

of

the

bridge.

To

raise

the

bridge

height,

simply

adjust

each

Pivot

Post

by

inserting

the

Allen

wrench

(or

slot

head

screwdriver,

depending

on

the

model)

into

the

Pivot

Post

and

rotating

it

counterclockwise

to

the

desired

height.

To

lower

the

bridge

height,

simply

rotate

each

Pivot

Post

clockwise

until

the

desired

bridge

height

is

reached.

Remember

to

check

for

neck

bow

while

adjusting

bridge

height

as

neck

bow

can

effect

string

height.

For

best

playability,

try

to

keep

the

Pivot

Posts

adjusted

evenly.

Individual

string

height

is

not

offered

on

the

Floyd

Rose

systems

as

it

can

negatively

effect

the

overall

tuning

stability

of

the

tremolo

system.
