Vintage Vibrato
For best results we recommend replacing one string at a time. This will
help to avoid removing the string tension from the neck and keep the
vibrato spring under tension.
To replace the strings on the VBX60 or VBS80, thread the new string
under the front tailpiece retainer bar (A).
The ball end of the string should be threaded over and around the rear
tailpiece retainer bar (B).
The ball end of the string's hole is inserted into the rear tailpiece
retainer bar pin and the string should be pulled tight towards the
headstock. Releasing the string tension from the tailpiece may cause
the ball end to slip off the pin. Keeping string tension on the string by
pulling it towards the headstock will alleviate this problem.
Thread the string through the machine head and while keeping tension
on the string, wind the string around the post. Make sure that the string
lands on the proper string saddle on the bridge. Once tight, tune the
string to pitch. Repeat this process for the other strings.

INSTALLING THE STRING

saddle and restring the rest of the string as you normally would on the machine head.
SPECIAL TUNING
The Downshifter also allows the pitch to be raised by setting the standard tuning
while the lever is in the lower position. When the lever is raised the pitch will also be
