Setup
1. Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove your Enya Nova Go guitar and its accessories from the packaging. Inspect the guitar for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping. The standard package includes:

2. Tuning Your Guitar
Your guitar may require tuning upon arrival. Use a digital tuner for accuracy. The standard tuning for a 6-string guitar is E-A-D-G-B-e (from thickest to thinnest string).
- Attach a digital tuner to the headstock of the guitar.
- Pluck each string individually.
- Adjust the corresponding tuning peg until the tuner indicates the correct pitch for each string. Turn clockwise to tighten (sharpen) and counter-clockwise to loosen (flatten).

3. Adjusting String Action (Optional)
The Enya Nova Go features a zero-fret design for precise intonation. If you find the string action (height of strings above the fretboard) is not to your preference, minor adjustments can be made. The included hex wrench can be used for bridge adjustments if necessary. For significant adjustments, professional assistance is recommended.

Operation
1. Playing Your Nova Go
The Enya Nova Go is a 1/2 size acoustic guitar designed for comfort and portability. Its carbon fiber construction provides a clear and resonant tone. Hold the guitar comfortably, ensuring your fretting hand can easily reach all frets and your strumming/picking hand is positioned over the soundhole area.

2. Carbon Fiber Advantages
The aerospace-grade carbon fiber material makes the Nova Go highly resistant to environmental changes. Unlike traditional wooden guitars, it is moisture-proof and maintains tuning stability across a wide range of temperatures (-20°C to 70°C). This makes it ideal for travel and outdoor use without concerns about warping or cracking.

3. Portability
Weighing approximately 7.33 lbs and being 1/2 size, the Nova Go is designed for easy transport. The included gig bag provides protection and convenience for carrying your guitar on commutes, hikes, or flights.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean your Enya Nova Go, wipe down the body, neck, and strings with the provided cleaning cloth after each use. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the carbon fiber body. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. String Replacement
Strings should be replaced periodically, depending on usage, to maintain optimal tone and playability. The Nova Go uses Phosphor Bronze strings. When replacing strings:
- Remove one old string at a time to maintain neck tension.
- Thread the new string through the bridge and tuning peg.
- Wind the string neatly around the tuning peg post, ensuring a few wraps for stability.
- Tune the new string to the correct pitch.

3. Storage
While the carbon fiber construction is highly durable, it is recommended to store your guitar in its gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and accidental impacts. Store it in a location where it won't be subjected to extreme physical stress.
Troubleshooting
- Poor Tuning Stability: Ensure strings are properly seated at the bridge and tuning pegs. New strings may stretch and require frequent re-tuning for the first few days.
- String Buzz: Check if the string action is too low. If the hex wrench adjustment does not resolve the issue, consult a guitar technician.
- Dull Sound: Old or corroded strings can cause a dull sound. Replace strings regularly.
- Physical Damage: Although carbon fiber is robust, severe impacts can cause damage. Inspect the guitar regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
