Usage Features
Tuning:
- Guitars can be tuned manually using a tuning fork, electronic tuner, pitch pipe, or app.
- It's recommended to tune from a pitch below the correct pitch up to the correct pitch to prevent string slack and slippage.
- Standard tuning is E-A-D-G-B-E (from thickest to thinnest string).
- The digital mini clip-on tuner simplifies tuning:
- Clip it onto the guitar's headstock.
- Press the power button to turn it on (hold for 2 seconds to turn off).
- Select the desired instrument mode (chromatic, guitar, bass, violin, ukulele) using the function button.
- Pluck a string; the LCD will display the note name and indicate if it's flat (indicator bar points left, white readout), sharp (indicator bar points right, white readout), or in tune (indicator bar points straight up, green readout).
- Tighten or loosen the string via the tuning peg until the note is in tune.
Truss Rod Adjustment:
- The guitar features an adjustable truss rod to correct neck bowing caused by environmental conditions or string tension.
- Tightening the truss rod clockwise causes the neck to curve upward.
- Tightening the truss rod counterclockwise causes the neck to curve downward.
- Adjustments should be made to keep the neck as straight as possible.
Changing Strings:
- Replace strings one at a time to maintain neck tension.
- Unwind the old string from the tuning machine.
- Remove the old string through the hole on the back of the guitar.
- Insert a new string through the corresponding hole.
- Run the new string over the neck and the nut.
- Feed the string through the hole in the tuning machine.
- Bend the string around the post and wind it using the tuning peg.
Amplifier Use:
- Connect the guitar to the "Instrument input" using the provided guitar cable.
- Use the "AUX input" to connect an MP3 player or phone to play along with music.
- Adjust "Gain," "Bass," "Treble," and "Volume" controls to shape the sound.
- Engage the "Grind" button for a distorted tone.
- Use the "Headphones" jack for silent practice.
- Turn the amplifier on/off using the "Power switch."
