Ibanez sr800 bridge height adjustment help??

[THany]

Im sorry if Its been "talkbassed" already. Im looking for a simple explanation (yeah, couldnt understand the Van Gogh drawing on ibanez sight) I need to raise the saddle a little. I need to know where the screws are, and what tool to use.
Thank you all for your patience.

This:

2mm allen wrench in each of the 3 holes on the sides of the saddles.
the plate that the saddles sit on is raised or lowered adjusting all 4 strings at once. individual string heights are not adjustable but the plate is radiused to match the fretboard.

this is no van gogh but it is from the ibanez site. maybe it's the diagram you were confounded by? it seems pretty clear to me.

maybe it helps to see real pictures of the bridge disassembled?

Yes I know. I cant understand it, like I cant read notes. You just need to telk me in words if I want to raise it by 1 mm, what side should I turn the 3 holes ( I understand I need to insert an allan to them, right? )Which way and how much to turn, in order to raise by 1mm? Thanks

once you find an allen wrench that fits and can engage the screws just try trial and error to figure out which way is raise and lower.
it's a little hard to get the allen wrench in the screw because you can't see in there. you just have to feel for it.
do this to all 3 screws until it's set the way you like it.

alternatively, take it to a tech who will set it up for you.
