    What model do you use?

    i’ve got the vomia, so it’s the got schaller bridge.

    Okey, thanks bro. Well, a problem with the Schaller bridge is that you can not access
    the posts form above. The posts have some nuts on them that the bridge itself rests on.

    The nuts on top, are only there to “lock” the bridge between the nuts of the post.
    Unfortunately, this means that you need to loosen the strings, unfasten the top nuts, and remove the bridge to access the nuts underneath to adjust the post height.
    IF you have a angled neck (so that the bridge is not recessed into the body), you could potentially
    access the nuts from the side, with a VERY thin flat wrench. I must stress that I do NOT recommend this, since you can seriously damage the finish of the guitar if you slip.

    So, with these bridges (that in other regards are good bridges) you need to go through the hassle
    of removing it to adjust the action. I know, it sucks, but that’s just something that Schaller need to take into consideration for future models of the bridge.

    I will record a instructional video-manual for Flaxwood guitars, where I will cover the functionality of the bridge, as well the gotoh tuners, neck adjustment and so on and so forth.
