2. Key Features

• Carbon Fiber Construction: The guitar is constructed from carbon fiber, offering enhanced durability, stability, and resistance to environmental changes compared to traditional wooden guitars. This material contributes to increased resonance, up to 50% more than some wooden acoustic guitars.
• AcousticPlus SP1 Pickup System: This integrated system allows for the application of various effects directly through the guitar's soundboard, without the need for external amplifiers or effects pedals. Effects include Reverb, Chorus, Delay, and Wah.
• Elevated Neck Design: The unique elevated neck design reduces pressure on the guitar's soundboard, allowing for greater vibration and resonance. This design enhances tonal response and dynamic range across all frequencies.
• R.S.B Carbon Technology: Enya's R.S.B (Resonance Structure Body) Carbon technology further contributes to the guitar's rich and balanced tonal qualities.
• Quality Components: Features a TUSQ nut and saddle for improved tone and sustain, along with round-end frets for comfortable playability.

3.2 Charging the AcousticPlus System

3.3 Tuning

The guitar features an onboard tuner for convenient and accurate tuning.

1. Activate the onboard tuner by pressing the appropriate button on the AcousticPlus control panel (refer to Section 4.2).
2. Pluck each string individually. The display will indicate the note and whether it is sharp or flat.
3. Adjust the tuning pegs until each string is in tune. Standard tuning is E-A-D-G-B-e (from thickest to thinnest string).

3.4 String Height Adjustment

The guitar's action (string height) is factory-set. If adjustments are desired, use the included adjustment wrench for the truss rod. Saddle adjustments may require professional assistance.

• The truss rod adjusts the neck relief. Consult a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with truss rod adjustments.
• Saddle height affects overall string action. Minor adjustments can be made by sanding the bottom of the saddle, but this should be done carefully to avoid irreversible changes.
