2. راه اندازی

2.1 باز کردن و بازرسی

Carefully remove your guitar from its packaging. Inspect the instrument for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Retain all packaging materials in case the guitar needs to be transported or returned.

2.2 تنظیم

Your SG Modern Figured is equipped with Grover Locking Rotomatic 18:1 ratio tuners for excellent tuning stability. To tune your guitar:

1. Ensure the locking mechanism on each tuner is disengaged (unlocked).
2. Thread the string through the tuning post hole.
3. Pull the string taut and engage the locking mechanism by tightening the thumbwheel on the back of the tuner. This clamps the string securely.
4. Turn the tuning key to adjust the pitch. The 18:1 ratio allows for fine tuning adjustments.
5. Use an electronic tuner for accuracy. Standard tuning is E-A-D-G-B-e (low to high).

2.3 Action and Intonation

The guitar is factory-set for optimal playability. However, changes in climate or string gauge may require adjustments to the string action (height) and intonation. These adjustments are best performed by a qualified guitar technician to ensure proper setup and avoid damage to the instrument.

3.1 Pickup Selector Switch

This is a 3-way toggle switch located on the upper bout of the guitar:

• موقعیت بالا: Activates the neck pickup.
• موقعیت میانی: Activates both neck and bridge pickups.
• موقعیت پایین: Activates the bridge pickup.

۴.۳ کنترل‌های صدا و تُن

The guitar features four control knobs:

• Neck Volume: Controls the output level of the neck pickup.
• Bridge Volume: Controls the output level of the bridge pickup.
• Neck Tone: Adjusts the treble response of the neck pickup.
• Bridge Tone: Adjusts the treble response of the bridge pickup.

3.3 Advanced Tonal Options (Push/Pull Pots)

The volume and tone knobs are push/pull pots, offering additional sound shaping capabilities:

• Coil-Splitting: Pulling up on either volume knob splits the humbucking pickup into a single-coil pickup, providing brighter, thinner tones. Push down to return to humbucker mode.
• Phase Switching: Pulling up on the neck tone knob reverses the phase of the neck pickup when both pickups are active, creating a unique "out-of-phase" sound. Push down to return to normal phase.
• مدار سه‌گانه: This circuit is integrated into the volume controls, allowing you to roll back the volume without losing high-end frequencies, maintaining clarity at lower volumes.

4. تعمیر و نگهداری

4.1 تمیز کردن

• بدن و گردن: Wipe down the body and neck with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove sweat and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning, use a guitar-specific polish or cleaner.
• تخته فرت: The ebony fretboard should be cleaned periodically. Use a fine steel wool (0000 grade) to gently remove grime from the frets and fretboard, then apply a small amount of lemon oil or fretboard conditioner to prevent drying.
• سخت افزار: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the bridge, tuners, and pickups. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

۴.۲ تعویض رشته

Strings should be replaced regularly, depending on playing frequency and personal preference. Old strings can sound dull and affect tuning stability. When replacing strings, change them one at a time to maintain neck tension. Refer to section 2.2 for instructions on using the locking tuners.

4.3 رطوبت و دما

Extreme changes in humidity and temperature can damage your guitar. Store your instrument in its case when not in use, and try to maintain a stable environment (ideally 45-55% relative humidity and 70-75°F / 21-24°C). Consider using a guitar humidifier in dry climates.

4.4 ذخیره سازی

Always store your guitar in a secure place, preferably in its gig bag or a hard case, to protect it from dust, impacts, and environmental changes. Avoid leaning the guitar against walls or furniture where it could fall.
