(2) will adjust the intonation on the string (3) bolts the block under the bridge that the strings go through to the bridge plate itself I`ve marked them in your pic You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For further setup of the guitar (of course if you don't adjust it to you liking) I suggest taking it to guitar repair expert. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
