Rick 4003 string height adjustment

[David Sutkin]

OK .... I am SURE this topic has come up a billion times on TB but I can't find a resolve for my particular issue here and the interwebs and YouTube suck for finding the resolve for this as well.

I'm looking for where an allen key would go to raise / lower the bridge so I can lower the string action .... and what the hell are those two round externally threaded pieces next to the intonation blocks? ... I would assume that's where the adjustment should take place no?

I would really appreciate some advice, thanks!

Never mind!

The 2 little set screws on each side of the bridge adjust string height. The big thumb screws I believe your referring to are to adjust the mute up and down.

Got it, thank you!

Those little hex screws jab me in the palm when I palm mute, trying to find some a little shorter, unsuccessful so far. I’d like to replace them with a round head screw if I can find one that small. Forget about the mute, fiddly to adjust, and really doesn’t work too well. Plus it’s “on” for the whole tune, easier to palm mute.
