  • Setting action

    Hey all, can I get some suggestions on lowering the action on my DK? I think all I should have to do is lower the trem (pivot?) screws then check tuning. Any help is appreciated

    That's correct. Some people recommend slacking the strings a bit, but I've never had issues.

      You also want to make sure your truss rod is adjusted properly so your action is even down the board.
      Turn the volume to 10 and rip off the knob!

        After lowering the trem posts, check/adjust intonation and relief and adjust pickup height if needed.
