Adjusting the Intonation<br />

The intonation <strong>de</strong>scribes the correct ratio between<br />

free oscillating length of an individual string (mensur)<br />

and fret and bridge.<br />

In or<strong>de</strong>r to control the intonation, compare the tone<br />

of each string when played without being pressed<br />

with the tone of the same string when played while<br />

pressing in on the 12th fret.<br />

If the tuning is correct, the gripped tone should be<br />

one octave higher than the string played without<br />

being gripped.<br />

If the intonation is incorrect, the mensur of the respective<br />

string must be adjusted. In this case, use a<br />

suitable screwdriver and adjust the screws in the<br />

bridge of the respective string (Fig. B).<br />

Screw the screws in to lengthen the mensur, unscrew<br />

the screws to shorten the mensur.<br />

Then tune the string and control the intonation<br />

again. It may need to be repeated several times for<br />

all the strings.<br />

Note: The guitar is set-up correctly on leaving the<br />

factory. Only change these settings when you have<br />

sufficient knowledge. Contact a specialist, if necessary.<br />

Adjusting the Neck<br />

The neck of the guitar is equipped with a truss rod.<br />

This keeps the neck in shape and provi<strong>de</strong> the counterforce<br />

to the strings. Unfavourable environmental<br />

influences, such as frequent temperature changes,<br />

can cause the guitar neck to warp.<br />

In such cases, the neck can be readjusted using the<br />

truss rod.<br />

To do this, use a suitable Allen key and adjust the<br />

neck carefully at the truss rod hole (Fig. C).<br />

Note: The guitar is set-up correctly on leaving the<br />

factory. Only change these settings when you have<br />

sufficient knowledge. Contact a specialist, if necessary.<br />

Cleaning and Servicing<br />

Attention: Always disconnect the cable between<br />

the guitar and amplifier before starting any cleaning<br />

work. Otherwise, it could lead to an electric shock.<br />

Only clean the guitar with special care products for<br />

musical instruments, such as guitar polish.<br />

Only use soft, lint-free cloths for the cleaning work.<br />

The use of rough cloths or other cleaning aids can<br />

lead to irreparable paint and functional damage.<br />

Note: Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.<br />

Do not use any chemicals (e.g. benzine, alcohol)<br />

for cleaning purposes.<br />
