Guitar Bridges
GIBRALTAR III (GUITAR & BASS), CB3, & FULL TUNE III, ART1, ART2
The action can be adjusted by using a slot
head (-) screwdriver to turn the adjustment
bolt at either end (A).
Intonation can be adjusted by moving the
saddle forward or backward by turning the
intonation adjustment screw (B) at the rear
of the bridge. You can use either a Phillips (+),
a fl at head (-) screwdriver, or the optional
hex wrench.
REPLACING THE STRINGS : CB3
Install strings by inserting them from the front of the bridge.
Before adjusting the action on the Gibraltar III bridge, loosen the strings suf-
fi ciently so that you will not need to turn the screws with excessive force, which
could damage the screw holes.
HARDTAIL BRIDGE
To change strings, thread the new strings through the string grommets
located on the back of the guitar and bring them up and over the
saddle. The intonation can be adjusted by adjusting the saddle forward
or backward using a Phillips (+) head screwdriver on the intonation
adjustment screw at the rear of the bridge. String height is controlled by
raising or lowering the small Allen screws using a wrench on either side of
the saddle.
The adjustment method is the same for 7-string and 8-string models.
GIBRALTER STANDARD BRIDGE 7-STRING / 8-STRING MODELS
To install a new string, pass it through the string stopper ferrule from the back
of the guitar body.
To adjust the height of the strings, use a 1.5mm hexagonal wrench to turn and
adjust the height of each saddle (A).
To adjust the intonation, use a 2.5mm hexagonal wrench to turn the intonation
adjustment screws of each saddle on the back of the bridge (B).
The adjustment method is the same for 7-string and 8-string models.
GIBRALTAR BRIDGE 08 / QUICK CHANGE 08 TAILPIECE
To adjust the string height, turn the stud bolts located at the left and right
ends of the bridge (A) using a slotted (-) screw driver. Before adjustment,
loosen the lock nut using an 8mm nut driver. After adjustment, tighten the
lock nut again to fi x the bridge.
To adjust the tailpiece height, turn the adjustment screws (B) on both
sides with a slotted (-) screw driver. Before adjustment, loosen the lock
nut. After adjustment, fi x it again in the same way as the bridge. If the
lock nut of the bridge and tailpiece is loose, it may cause distortion or
resonance. Raising the tailpiece will reduce the string tension, which will
provide a softer feel and make it easier to bend the strings.
To adjust the intonation of each saddle, turn the intonation adjustment
screw using a slotted (-) screw driver (C).
