View Full Version : Newbie: how to lower the action?

I just purchased a 335 copy. It's been set up, but the action is slightly higher than I like. Since I dealt with Tele's and Strat's sofar, I confess I never had to deal with tun-o-matics etc.

What have I got to do? screw down the bridge by using a screwdriver on the two big screw heads?

I also think I'll have to re-correct the intonation: have I got to lower the bridge pick up to get the little 6 screws, right?

The big thumbwheels will lower the bridge. You shouldn't have to move the pickup to set the intonation. Use a long thin screwdriver.
