3. Configuración e instalación

The ABM 2400c-RO Rollerbridge is designed as a replacement or upgrade for guitars utilizing a tune-o-matic style bridge with specific bolt spacing. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and to prevent damage to your instrument.

3.1 Comprobación previa a la instalación

  • Ensure your guitar's bridge posts are compatible with the included 4mm and M5 bolts.
  • Verify that the bolt spacing on your guitar (71.7 - 75 mm) matches the bridge's specifications.
  • Confirm the string spacing (10.4 mm) is suitable for your guitar's neck and string alignment.

3.2 pasos de instalación

  1. Carefully remove the old bridge from your guitar, if applicable. Loosen strings completely before removal.
  2. Install the appropriate mounting bolts into your guitar's bridge posts. Ensure they are securely seated.
  3. Place the ABM 2400c-RO Rollerbridge onto the installed bolts. The bridge should sit firmly without excessive play.
  4. Re-string your guitar. Do not fully tension the strings yet.
  5. Proceed to Section 4 for initial adjustments.

4. Operación y ajuste

The rollerbridge design allows for smooth string movement and precise intonation. Adjustments are made using the included hex key and standard guitar setup tools.

4.1 String Height Adjustment

String height (action) is adjusted by raising or lowering the bridge posts. Use a suitable tool to turn the bridge post screws. Adjust incrementally and check playability and fret buzz.

4.2 Intonation Adjustment

Each saddle on the rollerbridge can be adjusted individually for intonation. Use the included hex key to turn the small screws located at the back of each saddle. Move the saddle forward to sharpen the note or backward to flatten it. Tune the string, check the intonation at the 12th fret, and adjust as needed until the open note and 12th fret harmonic/fretted note match.

4.3 Lateral Adjustment (String Flow)

The ABM 2400c-RO features lateral adjustment for adapting to string flow. This allows for fine-tuning the horizontal position of the bridge to ensure optimal string alignment over the pickups and fretboard. Consult a guitar technician if you are unsure about this adjustment.

5. Mantenimiento

  • Limpieza: Wipe the bridge regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, sweat, and grime. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Lubricación: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite or a specialized lubricant to the roller saddles to ensure smooth string movement and reduce friction.
  • Inspección: Regularly inspect the bridge for any signs of wear, loose screws, or damage. Ensure all saddles move freely.
