Tremolo Spring Adjustment – (California Guitar models only)

Our California models have 3 springs under the back plate that may need adjustment as you change your string gauge. If you decide to use a heavier gauge string you will see the Bridge pull up from the body a little as you tune the guitar. This will effect action and intonation. This is a simple fix.

Tremolo Spring Adjustment

  • Loosen strings a little
  • Locate the back plate of the California guitar
  • Remove screws to take plate completely off
  • Locate Spring Claw

Tremolo
