Especially when I had a floyd, it seems like everything is a four point balancing act: Between

1. The truss rod adjustment
2. Bridge height
3. Trem claw position
4. Intonation

Changing any one of these is likely to affect ALL of the others in a small way, and finding which ones can be monkeyed with and which ones have to be adjusted to compensate is... not an entertaining way to spend a Saturday night.]]> Guitar Players Discussion undercat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adjusting-the-action/#post-80323 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adjusting-the-action/#post-80247 Fri, 17 Dec 2004 03:35:21 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adjusting-the-action/#post-80247 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adjusting-the-action/#post-80229 Thu, 16 Dec 2004 23:56:00 +0000

In the usual manner, you can adjust the truss rod at the headstock. The bridge height is altered by the two little allen wrench receiving posts that the "knife" of the trem goes into.

With the floyd of course, you're going to want to retune after every small adjustment you make, and make sure you get assistance if you need to adjust the claw screws, as they are a lot more sensitive than most people imagine.

Hows it done?
