Just bought an Ibanex RG370DX. I know the manual (page 20) says to adjust the spring tension to keep the tremolo assembly in parallel with the guitar body, but what part of the tremolo assembly am I supposed to use to line it up. There is an obvious one using the bottom base plate, but I have read where that is wrong.
The manual shows (poorly) that the line is drawn right to the left of the fine tuners. And yes there is a very small area there that I could use as a base for a parallel line to align with the guitar body - is this it? The picture shows the line cutting through a "hump" which is what is confusing me. There is no hump on my RG370. |

Here is the manual diagram: ![]() Here is they way I currently have it. You can forget aligning it parallel with the "door stop" or "pie sideways" bottom piece, because that is wrong. That's where I screwed up. I think the line should look just like the picture in the manual. There is a flat spot just to the left of the fine adjuster (no hump) and then it looks like the line goes straight through the center of the circular locking bolt for the low E. I believe I am forward just a bit. Need to reduce spring tension just a hair. ????
