Help! action jp50

[Gav Wilson]

Finally think ive got the idea of this forum lark. Anyhow just wondered if any1 new how to lower the action on my jp50? Have lowered my ibanez (oops swore there) so wondered if its done the same way. Cheers.

2 ways to do it

you can lower the 2 outer posts to bring the entire bridge down
or
you can adjust each saddle to the desired height.

be sure to check neck / truss rod make sure the neck is straight.

because it is a floating bridge, you will need to retune after you make adjustments to the saddle/bridge.

As its brand spankers today prob go for yr 1st option think its just a matter of adjusting allens on either side of bridge hopefully. cheers for the quick reply.

thats the safest bet, assuming that the individual saddles are matched to the radius of the fretboard. i always check each string height at the last fret. I shoot for 4/64s" at the last fret.
