Setup

1. Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the guitar and accessories for any signs of damage. Retain the original packaging for future storage or transport.

2. Connecting the Amplifier (if applicable)

If your kit includes an amplifier, connect the guitar to the amplifier using the provided amplifier cable. Ensure both the guitar and amplifier are turned off before making connections. Plug one end of the cable into the guitar's output jack and the other end into the amplifier's input jack.

3. Tuning the Guitar

Use the included clip-on tuner to accurately tune your guitar. Attach the tuner to the headstock. Pluck each string individually and adjust the tuning pegs until the tuner indicates the correct pitch for each string (E, A, D, G, B, E from thickest to thinnest).

1. Using the Controls

• Volume Knob: Controls the overall output volume of the guitar. Turn clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• Tone Knobs: Adjust the tonal characteristics, from bright to mellow.
• 5-Way Pickup Selector Switch: Allows you to select different pickup configurations for varied sounds.
  • Position 1 (Bridge): Brightest tone, ideal for lead playing.
  • Position 2 (Bridge and Middle): Combines pickups for a slightly warmer, quacky tone.
  • Position 3 (Middle): Balanced tone.
  • Position 4 (Middle and Neck): Combines pickups for a warmer, fuller tone.
  • Position 5 (Neck): Warmest tone, suitable for rhythm and blues.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the guitar body and neck with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. For a deeper clean, use a guitar-specific cleaning solution.
• String Changes: Replace strings regularly, typically every 1-3 months depending on usage, to maintain optimal tone and playability. Use the provided restring tools if needed.
• Storage: Store the guitar in its gig bag or a hard case when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity changes, and physical damage. Avoid extreme temperatures.
