NOTE:
CORRECT BRIDGE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT IS
NECESSARY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION
OFTHETREMOLO SYSTEM. INCORRECT ADJUST.
MENT WILL CAUSE TREMOLO SYSTEM MAL¬
FUNCTION. IT IS THEREFORE HIGHLY RECOM¬
MENDED THAT ALL STRING HEIGHT AND AC¬
TION ADJUSTMENTS BE MADE BY MEANS OF
THE NECK TILT ADJUSTMENT FEATURE, AND
THAT THE BRIDGE HEIGHT NOT BE CHANGED
FROM ITS FACTORY SETTING.
Saddle Height Adjustment:
All saddle height and intonation adjustments must be
made prior to tigfiiening string lock. Refer to enclosed
Kah I e r 1 1 1 erat u re pac kage.
Siring Intonation:
Accurate string intonation settings insure that your
insifumenl will play fn tune at ary point on the neck,
Although 'perfect intonation" is a physical impossibility
with a fretted instrument, the correct seUingsvrHI maxim¬
ize the accuracy of individ ual notes up and down the neck.
Intonation is set by comparing the pitch of an open
string to the pitch otthesamestiing when it is played one
octave higher at tr^e i2tn fret. The actual "vibrating
lar^gth" of that stnng Is varied until the notes are both at
the rtgnt pitch. The "vibrating length" of the string is
altered by adjueting the bridge saddle either forward or
oacKward, depending on whether the fretted note is
sharper orflalterin pitch than the open note. Ifthe fretted
note issharperthantheopen note, the vibratmg length of
the string must be increased, move ihe bridge saddle to
the rear, away from the picKups. If the fretted note is flat
the vibrating length must be shorlened; move the bridge
sad d IB to rw a f d. toward t h e pi c k ups. to s horien the iengt h.
Refer to enclosed Kahler literature package for saddle
adiustmenl mstruclfons
NOTE:
IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT FOR THE UNTRAINED
EAR TO DETERMINE WHEN THE OPEN NOTE
AND THE FRETTED NOTE ARE AT PRECISELY
THE SAME PITCH. SOME PLAYERS FIND THAT
COMPARING THE 12TH FRET HARMONIC OF
THE STRING (RATHER THAN THE OPEN NOTE)
TO THE FRETTED NOTE IS MUCK EASIER. A
HARMONIC IS PLAYED BY PLUCKING THE
STRING WITH THE RIGHT HAND WHILE TOUCH¬
ING THE STRING WITH THE LEFT INDEX FINGER
(AS LIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE) DIRECTLY ABOVE
THE TWELFTH FRET.THELEFTINDEX FINGER IS
DRAWNAWAYAS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AFTER
THESTRINGISPLUCKED, PRODUCING A'CHIME''
EFFECT. THIS CHIMED NOTE IS THEN COM¬
PARED TO THE FRETTED NOTE.
For e V en g reate r ease a nd hi g h deg ree of ac curacy, w e
recommenij one of the many types of electror^ic guitar
tuners that are available from most music stores. The
tuners which useeithera meter or amoving LED display
are usually easier to use than the type with a numerical
frequency readout
NOTE:
BOTHTDRSIONRODANDSTRINQHEIQHTSET-
TINGS INTERACT CL(DSELY WITH STRING IN-
TONATION. THESE ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE
COMPLETED BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE
TO SET STRING INTONATION AT THE BRIDGE.
1 Insure that torsion rod and string height settings are
accurate.
2. Tune guitar to standard (A-440) pitch,
3. Hold the instrument in a normal playing position or
place the g uttar on a clean flat surface so that only the
body is m contact with the work surface Any pres¬
sure on the neck will affect intonation settings.
4. Play the istsirmgooen and compareittoThepitch of
the same stnng when it is played at the 12 th fret.
These notes should be the same (one octave apart),
5. Using wrench supplied with Kahler tremolo unit,
adjust the string saddle so that both the fretted and
open noles are the same Refer to encloseo Kahler
liters lure package for saddleadjustment Instructions
MOTE:
ITWILL OFTEN BE NECESSARY TO RETURN THE
OPEN STRING TO STANDARD PITCH AFTER THE
BRIDGE POSITION IS ALTERED.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings,
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 as necessary uniil inlor^a-
tion of all theetnngs Is accurately adjusted.
Care for the (nstrumer^t:
This is e high quality musical instrument constructed
from the finest materials and with ihe most up-to-date
production methods available. With reasonable care, it
should provide many, man/years of service and ouistand*
ing playability
Temperature and Humidity:
It is important that your msirument be profected from
any extremes of audder^ changes rn either tarn parature or
humidity. The mstrumem should be stored in its case
whenever it is not in use,
Strings:
Stnng life may oe greatly extended by frequent clean¬
ing and wiping after use Dul and perspiration tend to
build up on the underside of the strings, so If is often
necessary to slide a rag between the strings and Ihe fin¬
gerboard, Oirt-fadenstrngscausetuningand intonation
problems, as well as rust and corrosion.
For beat pprforrrianca, airings should be changed ap¬
proximately once a month or every twenty-four playing
hours. Some players may hnd that they prefer to change
strings more often.
Finish:
Your instrument h as a poly ester/urethane finish which
Is both durable and weather-resistant, but nevertheless
needs cere. Auto motive-grade waxes will protect, clean,
and shine It Between waxmgs. the insirument should be
wiped with a dry, soft cloth
