I'm sure I saw a thread somewhere with a diagram explaining the function of the truss rod adjustment but I can't seem to find it. Could anyone be kind enough to point me towards it?

Also any other tips for set ups for guitars with vintage style trem would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Simon

Thank you for the photo. I have been wanting to learn how to do a proper setup on my guitars, this will certainly help.

Don't overtighten! Capo first fret and hold 15th fret and tap 7th fret. Depending on your preference typical setups can range from .003-.008 and even sometimes higher. I would personally try to shoot for .004". Maybe email musicman for the setup specifications for your guitar... Their factory setups are pretty good.
