Setup Specs for Luke

[D-Man]

Anyone know the setup specs for a Luke Guitar?

I thought this information would be on the EB/MusicMan web site (like the PRS web site) but I wasn't able to find this info, not even general setup specs for EB guitars.

Although I brought my Luke new at Guitar Center some time ago, it was obvious that someone changed the setup, for example: the bridge was flush against the body of the guitar and it had D'Addario strings (colored ball-ends).

I now wish to setup my Luke guitar to original factory specs.

Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks,

I found this information late last night.

I didn't find any information about adjusting the bridge pivot screws. I raised the pivot screws so that the bridge was about 1/8" above the guitar body. Also didn't see any info about the number of tremolo springs installed at the factory. My Luke had 2 springs, I added a 3rd spring and adjused the claw screws until the bridge was level.

The information about setting the "bridge float to 1 1/2..." and setting the "G string to A440..." was a little over my head.

Dennis...the Luke comes from the factory with 2 trem springs and is set up to float so in addition to dive bombing you can pull up on it and it goes up 1 and a half steps. If you dont need the float, 3 springs and making the bridge level will do. To set the bridge height, raise the bridge enough so you can put a business card under it...Lower the bridge until there is slight drag on the card and then remove the card...Good luck.
