the question I'm ashamed about ! JT6 restringing

[Jacky Banez]

Hi guys !
I recently bought a Charvel model 2 and want to change the strings
I used to have Ibanez Edge or Lo-pro, but with that JT6, I just can't understand how to release the strings
Where is the screw blocking the string in the trem ?

Silly question, but can't find any youtube tutorial or sthing

Thanks a lot !

The allen screws are inside the knurled fine-tuner barrels!

Welcome to the forum. You should be able to use an allen key in the back to release the strings... similar to a regular Floyd or Edge, except the fine tuners wrap around them.
Then you just lift up the flat square blocks on top that seat the strings (at the back of the saddles). Hope that's clear.

When you re tighten the blocks be careful you do not over tighten. The metal is a bit on the soft side and it is easy to deform the blocks.
Here is where the allen/hex key is inserted to change strings.

Thanks all - the flashlight was the tool I missed ! And now I'm ashamed ! GOAL !
Now this little jewel is set up in C standard with D'addario EXL148
Can't show the real fantastic color it has, but here it is :

Don't see too many in the mist. Usually white, red or black.
