1、RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 EDGE III TrEmolo The Edge III Tremolo is an Ibanez original tremolo that features fine-tuners, much like the Lo-Pro Edge, and provides extraordinary strength and tuning stability. The Edge III Tremolo offers features that are required for a double-locking tremolo, and success
2、fully combines Ibanezs original ideas with its unique appearance. Attaching the tremolo arm The tremolo arm can be inserted and removed easily. Be sure to insert the tremolo arm into the arm socket (Fig. 1 A) and push down firmly until the arm snaps into place. To adjust the torque of the tremolo ar
3、m, use a 2 mm Allen key to turn the torque adjustment screw (Fig. 1 B) through the adjustment hole in the side of the base plate attached to the back of the arm socket. Turning the screw clockwise will tighten the arm torque, and turning the screw counterclockwise will loosen the arm torque. To adju
4、st the height of the arm, remove the tremolo spring cover from the back of the guitar and turn the height adjustment screw (Fig. 1 C) attached to the bottom of the tremolo block with a 3 mm Al- len key. Tightening the screw clockwise will raise the height. Caution The Edge III Tremolo has two torque
5、 adjustment screws for the tremolo arm: one is at (Fig. 1 B) and the other is under height adjustment screw (Fig. 1 C). The adjustment screws are factory adjusted. If adjustment is required, be sure to remove the tremolo from the guitar before making adjustments. The Ibanez EGEN8 Herman Li Signature
6、 Ibanez EGEN8 has a screw in tremolo arm. Insert the tremolo arm into the tremolo unit and rotate it to fasten it in place. The method of adjusting the torque of the tremolo arm is the same as for Edge III. Caution Check that the screw (Fig. 1 C) securing the tremolo arm is not loose before attachin
7、g it. Adjusting the tremolo angle The angle of the tremolo is adjusted by the balance between the tension of the strings and the tension of the tremolo springs installed on the back side of the guitar body. Setting the tremolo so that it is approximately parallel to the surface of the guitar body wi
8、ll ensure optimal performance (Fig. 2). To adjust the tremolo angle, insert a Philips screwdriver into a slit in the tremolo spring cover attached to the back of guitar body and turn the screw of the tremolo spring hook (Fig. 3). With the guitar tuned accurately, if the tremolo unit is tilted forwar
9、d, turn the screws clockwise to tighten the springs. If the tremolo unit is tilted backward, turn the screws counterclockwise to loosen the springs. When adjusting the tremolo angle, the balance between the tension of the strings and the tension of the tremolo springs changes each time the tension o
10、f the spring is adjust- ed. Thus, adjustments should affect tuning. Make adjustments by tuning the strings re- peatedly. If the string tension significantly changes after the strings have been changed to a different gauge, it is sometime necessary to change the number of springs or the way in which
11、the springs are installed.

Note that it is not possible to adjust the height of individua
12、l strings. Adjusting the intonation Loosen the pressure pad screws (Fig. 5 H) on the locking nut with a 3 mm Allen key and fully loosen the strings. Loosen the saddle lock screw (Fig. 4 F) with a 2 mm Allen key and adjust the saddle position. Firmly tighten the saddle lock screw (Fig. 4 F), tune the
13、 guitar, and then check the intonation. Repeat these adjustments until the required intonation is reached, and then tighten the pressure pad screws (Fig. 5 H) in the locking nuts. Caution When loosening the saddle lock screws, you must fully loosen the strings be- fore making adjustments. replacing
14、the strings Loosen the pressure pad screws (Fig. 5 H) on the locking nut with a 3 mm Allen key and remove the strings from the tuning machines. Loosen the string stopper screw (Fig. 4 G) on the tremolo unit with a 3 mm Allen key and remove the string from the saddle. Cut off the ball end of the new
15、string with an end nipper or wire cutter (Fig. 6). Insert the cut side of the new string between the saddle and the string holder block. Tighten the string stopper screw to secure the string. Wind the string around the tuning machine and tune to pitch. After tuning, tighten the pressure pad screw on
16、 the locking nut. Caution Since the angle of the tremolo will change significantly, if all strings are re- moved at once, you should replace the strings one at a time. To remove all strings at the same time, tuck a piece of cloth behind the tremolo so that the tremolo unit sits parallel to the surfa
17、ce of the body. This can make tuning easy. Before you tune a string, ensure that the string stopper screw is firmly tight- ened. Fine tuning After locking the locking nut, fine tuning of each string can be carried out by using fine tuners. To allow maximum fine tuning adjustment, it is recommended t
18、hat the fine tuners (Fig. 4 D) be set to the middle position of the range of the movement before tuning.

A B C D Fig. 1 GIBRALTAR STANDARD BRIDGE Adjusting the action One of the features of the Gibraltar standard bridge is that the saddle height can be adjusted individually. To adjust the height of each saddle, turn t
28、he adjustment screws (Fig. 1 A) with a 1.5 mm Allen wrench. Adjusting the intonation To adjust the saddle position, turn the intonation adjustment screws (Fig. 1 B) on the rear section of the bridge with a 2.5 mm Allen wrench. Tune the guitar and check the intona- tion. Repeat these adjustments unti
29、l the required intonation is reached. Replacing the strings There are two methods available for replacing the strings: installing strings through the string-retainer ferrule, and hooking the ball-end onto the rear of the tailpiece (Fig. 2 C). A B Fig. 1 C Fig. 2 ADJUSTING THE NECK The neck bears the
30、 tension of the strings. The curvature of the neck is subtly affected not only by the tuning state and string gauge, but also by changes in temperature and hu- midity. For this reason, the neck contains an internal truss rod that allows the curvature to be precisely adjusted. Tune the strings accura
31、tely, hold the guitar in playing position, then press the first string at the first fret and at the fret that is nearest to the point where the neck joins the body, as shown in Fig. 1. (It will be more convenient to use a capo at the first fret.) Measure the gap between the string and fret at the ei
32、ghth fret. Do the same for the sixth (lowest) string. For each string, the gap should be in the range of 0.3-0.5 mm (a slight bow in the neck). Although symptoms may vary depending on the type of neck and on how the neck is joined to the body, problems such as excessive string height, string buzz fo
33、r high notes, or intonation difficulties may occur due to an excessively bowed neck (Fig. 2 A), which will cause this gap to be larger. Conversely, problems such as insufficient string height, string buzz for low notes, or muted notes may be due to a neck that is bowed in the reverse direction (Fig.
34、 2 B), which will cause this gap to be smaller. Try to refrain from simply making a visual judgment. Rather, determine the problem based on the symptoms that occur, and make the appropriate adjustment. The truss rod nut is located at the headstock end of the neck. Using the Allen wrench or socket wr
35、ench included with the guitar, tighten the nut toward the right (Fig. 3 C) if you want to bend the neck in the convex direction, or loosen the nut toward the left (Fig. 3 D) if you want to bend the neck in the concave direction. Make adjustments in quarter-turns, alternating steps of tuning and adju
36、stment. Caution You must exercise appropriate care when adjusting the neck. If the truss rod nut does not turn as you expect, or if you are unable to make adjustments accurately, do not attempt to force the adjustment; contact your dealer or the Ibanez company. PICKUPS By adjusting the pickup height
37、, you can make fine adjustments to the volume and tone. For a commonly used pickup height, adjust the adjustment screws (Fig. 4 E) on both sides of the pickup with a Phillip screwdriver to create a space of 2-5 mm between the pickup/pole piece and the strings pressed at the last fret. However, this
38、adjustment will depend on your playing style or on the characteristics of your amp, so you should make this adjustment while listening to the actual sound. For pickups of the type that allows the pole piece to be adjusted, you can correct the volume balance for each string. (Note that you can only m
39、ake adjustment within a given adjustment range.) Depending on the type of pole piece, use either an Allen wrench (Fig. 4 F) or a slot head screwdriver, whichever is suited for the pickups. The volume will increase as the distance between the pickup and string decreases, but if the spacing is too clo
40、se, you may get cracked sounds or the string may buzz due to the magnetic field of the pickup. Conversely, increasing the distance between the string and pickup will produce a clearer sound with less distortion, but the high-frequency range may be attenuated and the volume may drop. For the LZ serie
41、s of Ibanez active pickups, the pickup characteristics and equalizer bal- ance are adjusted according to the model hosting them. It is designed to enable correct action to be taken by making correct combinations of the pickups installed on the guitar and the equalizer to be used. No other combinatio
42、n will work. Do not use this series with LZ pickups used with some other models or in conjunction with active pickups produced by other manufacturers. This is also applicable to equalizer selection. 8th fret Fig. 1 Fig. 2 D C C D Fig. 3 E E F Fig. 4 BATTERY If your guitar has a built-in preamp or eq
43、ualizer and requires a battery, you will need to replace the battery when you notice that the volume has decreased or the sound has become distorted. The battery is housed in a battery compartment or within the control cavity. (The location may differ depending on the model of the guitar.) Depending
44、 on the model, either 006P (9 V) battery or two AA (1.5 V x 2) batteries are used. When replac- ing the battery, check the orientation carefully to place it in the battery compartment or control cavity in the correct orientation. For a guitar that requires two batteries, do not mix old and new or al
45、kaline and manganese batteries together. Also, do not use a battery whose voltage or shape is different from that of the initially installed one. For a guitar that requires a battery (batteries), the output jack also functions as a power switch, and the power will turn on when you insert a plug into
46、 the output jack. To prevent battery power leakage and depletion, remove the plug from your guitar if you will not be using it for an extended period of time. To prevent your amp or other equipment from be- ing damaged when you plug in your guitar, turn off the power of your equipment or turn down t
47、he volume before you make connections. Caution The battery shipped with the guitar is for testing. ADJUSTING THE INTONATION (STRING lENGTH) The fret position is set according to a calculation of the correct musical scale existing under certain conditions, referring to the scale from the nut to the b
48、ridge. However, conditions under which the guitar is played greatly vary depending on the thickness of strings, neck condition, and tuning. In order to correct subtle interval diversions arising from these differences, you will need to carry out fine adjustment for the string length (intonation adju
49、stment). When replacing with new strings, or when adjusting the neck, be sure to adjust intonation. After completing adjustment of the neck or each section of the strings on the higher side, you should perform accurate tuning (use of a tuning meter is recommended). Hold it in playing position, and compare the pitch of the string pressed down at the 12th fret with the harmonic played at the 12th fret. If the pitch played at the 12th fret is lower than the harmonic, move the bridge saddle forward (Fig. 5 G) to shorten the string length. Conversely, if the pitch played at the
