the desired note for the custom tuning and pluck the associated string. Continue until all six
strings are green, after which they‘ll flash and turn off. (Tip: Mute a string after its string LED
turns green to speed up the process.)
4. When a string LED flashes blue, use the Left/Right buttons to select a blue bank preset. Press
Enter = stores pitch-corrected tuning in the selected preset. Do not turn off Gibson G FORCE yet;
it needs to “learn” how to tune to this tuning.
5. Press the On button twice to return to Tuning Bank selection. Use the Up and Down buttons to
select the blue bank (if needed), and the Left and Right buttons to select the preset you stored
In step 4 above.
6. Press and hold the Enter button for Single-String Tuning mode.
7. Pluck the string with the flashing red LED. After its LED turns green, wait for another string LED
to flash red then pluck the associated string. (Tip: Mute a string after its string LED turns green
to speed up the process.)
8. When all six LEDs are green, all six strings are tuned. Gibson G FORCE turns off. When you tune
using this tuning, G FORCE will apply the stored pitch correction.
Note: Alternate tunings can change the neck tension. After the single-string tuning, “refreshing” the
tuning in Multi-String mode can compensate for this.
Quick Single-String Tuning Mode for Alternate Tunings
As described in the Quick Start, you can use Multi-String tuning with alternate tunings. However, you
can also go immediately into Single-String tuning mode.
1. Press the On button two times.
2. Press Up/Down to scroll through tuning preset banks (red, green, blue or additional ones that
are unblocked—see page 20).
3. Press Left/Right to choose individual tunings.
4. Press and hold Enter for 2 seconds or until the lights flash green. The machine heads turn to
come close to the tuning, and automatically selects single-string mode.
5. Pluck the string with the red LED. Pluck each string individually until its LED is green, and Gibson
G FORCE goes automatically to the next string.
6. When all LEDs are green, all strings are tuned to the currently selected tuning. Gibson G FORCE
turns off.
