D-Tuner Operation and Adjustment
The D-Tuner is a unique
pitch dropping device that
offers instant “Drop-D” tun-
ing by dropping the low-E
string down to D. This is
located on the low-E string
lock bolt, and is actuated by
simply sliding the mecha-
nism in (for E) or out (for D).
Please read the instructions
carefully to understand the
operation and adjustment of
the D-Tuner.
1. Loosen the locking topnut screw for the low-E string.
2. Adjust the D-Tuner to the “D” position by pulling it
back (away from the tremolo).
3. Turn the fine-tuning adjustment screw for the low-E
string counterclockwise until it stops. Then, turn
the fine-tuning adjustment screw clockwise approxi-
mately one full turn. This will allow proper travel for
the D-Tuner.
