Unpacking Instructions

CAUTION! Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton. Check the contents to ensure all parts are present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged or the package shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. If the product must be returned, it is important to use the original factory box and packing.

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations (e.g., after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. Condensation may damage the device. Leave the device switched off until it reaches room temperature.

Storing the Guitar

• Keep the instrument away from fire or flames and on a low, stable surface.
• Do not lean the instrument against walls, especially near children.
• Long-term storage in a hard case may adversely affect the guitar. Open the case occasionally to allow air circulation.
• If the instrument will not be used for an extended period, store it in a place other than those listed below:
  • Locations subject to direct sunlight.
  • Locations subject to extremely high or low temperatures.
  • Locations subject to high humidity, dust, or vibration.
  • Inside a car during summer, where temperatures can become extremely high.

Tuning Machine Tension Adjustment

The tuning machines feature spring-loaded mechanisms that automatically compensate for wear, preventing backlash. The pressure required to turn the machines can be adjusted. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw.

Turning the screw clockwise tightens the machine. Adjust the tuning machines so they are firm but turn smoothly. This adjustment is usually unnecessary, and overtightening can lead to premature wear of the tuning machines.

Changing the Strings

Follow these steps to change the guitar strings:

1. Unwind the old string at the tuning machine on the headstock (it is recommended to change one string at a time).
2. Push the old string through the guitar body via the hole in the bridge.
3. Insert a new string through the corresponding hole. Compare the thickness of the new string to the old one to ensure it is the correct gauge.
4. Run the string over the bridge saddle and along the neck.
5. Feed the string through the hole in the tuning machine post.
6. Bend the string around the post and wind the string using the tuning peg.
