Gotoh bridge adjustment

[SICbass]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to set up the intonation on my SGC Nanyo SB502 and I am a little uncertain about which screws do what.

 

Am I right in thinking that screws A are some sort of locking screws? Screws B, just normal string-height adjustment, and screws C (see second pic) are to adjust string length?

 

Cheers,

Paul

You are quite right, but C is more commonly labelled "string spacing".

 

Beware that these Gotoh 206 (aka Pro) bridges are made out of a kind of fragile zamac alloy, so don't overtighten the screws, or it will break.

 

So first, slightly unscrew the A ... screw (again don't unscrew it too much or it will come out and you'll have to remove the bridge to put it back in place as the nut underneath is a moving part...), adjust your intonation (heigh and spacing if needed) with the usual screw at the back of bridge.

 

Then tighten A again, that's it.

 

There was a thread here a few years ago:
