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 mm 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 mm 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 ma-
chine 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 replace-
ment 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.
