Jackson guitars use an assortment of bridge styles for various models, and the bridge style on your guitar will need to be identified for proper adjusting.

2. Hardtail: The string height can be adjusted for each individual string via Allen screws on each side of the saddle. Intonation is adjusted via the single screw that attaches the saddle to the bridge plate.
3. Non-Locking Tremolo: The string height can be adjusted for each individual string via Allen screws on each side of the saddle.
