Know your Guitar

First we need to take some time to get to know the parts of the guitar. If you are

right handed, you hold the guitar so your right hand is the strumming hand (it rests

on the strings above the sound hole and above the pic guard). Your left hand is

then the picking hand, which rests on the neck of the guitar. The large part of the

guitar is referred to as the "body" while the thin piece that is connected to the

body is called the "neck". The strings run from the "bridge" which is on the body

of the guitar (below the sound hole in the body) and connect to the "tuning pegs"

which are on the "head" of the guitar. The metal pieces that lie along the neck at

random intervals are the "frets" and the neck is sometimes called the "fretboard".

The six strings are pressed onto the fretboard by the player's hand, causing them

to vibrate when plucked. This changes the pitch of the string.

Changing Strings - Electric

Please check your strings periodically for dirt, discoloration or if they are produc-

ing a deteriorated dull sound. Make sure to change one string at a time. This will

maintain the vital tension on the neck. See below to accurately change strings on

your electric guitar.

• Remove used strings. Locate the bridge (see electric guitar diagram) and

thread the string through the associated bridge string hole.

• Continue feeding the string the length of the neck to its associated tuning peg.

• You will see a hole which the string is then threaded through. Leave a bit of

string so that you may adjust as necessary.

• Bend the very tip of the string so that you can now tighten by turning the

tuning peg.

• Once tight you cut the excess string you had left over and which is not needed.

Tuning Your Guitar

If included as an option, locate the electronic tuner which came supplied with your

instrument.

• Press the power button to turn on the tuner.

• Plug the electric guitar into the tuner via an instrument cable. Gently pluck the

string in need of tuning. The auto tuning function will indicate via a red LED light

the string's current pitch.

• Slowly adjust the tuning peg for the associated string. It will either tighten or loosen

depending upon direction the peg is turned. When tightening the string the pitch

will become higher and when loosening the string the pitch will become lower.

• The red LED lights on the tuner will confirm this action and indicate via a green

light when the string is in tune.

• Repeat process for each string.

Guitar tuner supplied with package has an external mic to be used for tuning

acoustic guitar. Please refer to the users guide included within the electronic

tuner.

Truss Rod Adjustment (Optional)

The truss rod is located in the neck of your guitar. It is there to assist in keeping

the neck straight. It also supports the neck as the string tension is increased. It is

manufactures policy that only a qualified guitar technician adjust the truss rod. It is

very easy to damage your instrument if the truss rod is tightened too much.
