2. Setup
Before playing your new VINTAGE REVO Series Tri-Guitar, follow these steps to ensure it is properly set up.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the guitar from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
- Tuning: Use an electronic tuner to tune the guitar strings to standard EADGBe tuning. The alloy steel strings may require frequent tuning initially as they stretch.
- Strap Attachment: Attach a guitar strap to the strap buttons located on the body of the guitar for comfortable playing while standing.
- Amplifier Connection: Connect one end of a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable to the guitar's output jack and the other end to your guitar amplifier's input. Ensure the amplifier is turned off before connecting.
3. Operating
Understanding the controls of your Tri-Guitar will allow you to explore its full sonic capabilities.
- Volume Knob: Controls the overall output volume of the guitar. Turn clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Tone Knobs: Adjust the treble frequencies. Typically, there are separate tone controls for different pickups or groups of pickups. Turning clockwise brightens the tone, while counter-clockwise darkens it.
- Pickup Selector Switch: This switch allows you to select which of the three S-S-S (Single-Single-Single) pickups are active. Experiment with different positions to find various tonal characteristics.
- Playing Position: Hold the guitar comfortably, whether seated or standing. Ensure your fretting hand can easily reach all frets and your picking hand can comfortably strum or pick the strings.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will preserve your guitar's appearance, playability, and sound quality.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the strings and body with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat and oils. For the body, a guitar-specific polish can be used periodically.
- String Replacement: Strings should be replaced regularly, depending on usage. Old strings can sound dull and affect tuning stability. Replace one string at a time to maintain neck tension.
- Fretboard Care: Periodically clean and condition the mahogany fretboard to prevent drying and cracking. Use a specialized fretboard conditioner.
- Storage: Store the guitar in a stable environment, away from extreme temperature changes and humidity fluctuations. A guitar case or gig bag is recommended for protection.
