Adjusting action

[mikeh]

There is a little buzz from the G string of my SWB lite one so I want to raise the action slightly. Now I've never touched this style of bridge before so can anyone help me some tips.



I can take a close up pic if needed.

Not used one of these, but are there little wheels halfway up the bridge? I think I can see some but am not sure. If so, turning these should raise the respective side of the bridge. As with all adjustments, adjust a little, check, and repeat

CHeers Alun, Yes there are some wheel on the bridge. I wasnt sure if these where to tighten up on the bolts!! I'll give that a go now, of course in small increments.

Cheers

Don't forget to slacken off the strings a bit before raising the height and check that when you retune it doesn't pull the bridge out of perependicular towards the floor.
