After adjusting string position, you can check the octaves of the guitar and readjust if
necessary. Tune all the strings to the correct pitch, gently touch the rst string right
above the twelfth fret and then pick the string. The harmonic you hear (at the 12th
fret) must be the same pitch as the picked string at the 12th fret). If the pitch of the
two notes diers, adjust the saddle for this string back (tone too high) or forth (tone
too low) on the bridge. Listen carefully and adjust gently until the two notes match.
Alternatively, you can also adjust the octaves with a tuner. In this case, the pitch of
the tone at the 12th fret must be the same as the unfretted string, but one octave
higher.
The pickups should be set so that all the strings sound equally loud when played.
Adjust the height of the pickups by using the lateral adjustment screws and listening
to the sound. The minimum distance between each string and its pickup is two milli‐
metres. The greater the distance between the string and pickup, the quieter the
string will sound.
