Neck adjustment

Hello all,

 

DISCLAIMER: not from an english speaking country ;-) 

 

I recently changed the strings on my new shuriken. I have gone from whatever the previous owner had on, to the "heavy bottom, skinny top" strings. 

These are a little bit thicker, and have therefore made the action to high. 

I have tried to adjust the neck tension with the trussrod but i am still not able to finde that sweet spot.

 

I have consideret lowering the individuel saddles, but in that case, i have a few questions. 

1. there is 2 screws for each saddle, how should i adjust it? 

2. Under the saddles, there is something silver going from the body to the saddle. I assume that this is for the "pickups" that do all the magic. Can i do any damage to these by adjusting the saddles?

 

I really would like to get it adjustet as fast as possible. I am not playing that much when it does'nt feel right. 

 

Thank you in advance.

1) You can adjust the saddles with the screws. It is all about balance and tension.

Though best to take it to a Line 6 authorized service center to have the set-up adjusted.

 

2) It's probably the piezo wire. It can be damaged, but that is rare, I have only seen two

come across my repair bench so far. Just be careful, or better yet, let the service center deal with it.
