I know little to nothing about changers. What does Triple raise Triple lower mean? How does it function. Also, what are split changes

It's simply that a guitar so equipped has the capability to accommodate three different raisies and/or lowers on each string.
Split-tuning is when the guitar has the capability to (for example) raise a string by a whole step (on a pedal, say) then lower it a half-step with a knee-lever and for the resulting half-step raise to be in tune.
Without split-tuning the resulting note can be a lottery.
(Although I once had a ZB without split-tuning and, happily, when I raised string 5 with my A pedal, lowering it a half-step produced an exact half-step raise. That, however, was pure luck as I came to learn.)
As for how this all happens in mechanical jargon I have no clue....

Thanks, it was the same string thing that was confusing.

Just an example:
On an all pull E9 guitar, if you want to raise the 4th string with the C pedal and you also want to raise it with the F lever, then you need (at least) a double raise changer. Same deal with the 5th string, raising it with the A pedal and raising it with the C pedal. |
