If you have a musical instrument nearby, tune the guitar
using the scales of the instrument. Turn the pegs to adjust
the tension of the strings until getting the desired pitch.
When you turn the pegs, you are increasing the tension in
the strings from loose to tense. The pitch will gradually
increase while you are turning the pegs. Stop turning when
you have reached the desired pitch. If you have tuned too
high, turn the pegs to reduce the tension in the strings and
start tuning again. Because the tension in a string changes
during tuning, it may affect the other strings. Since the
tuning of one string will affect that of the others and may
change their pitch, once you have finished tuning all four
strings, start again from the thickest string.

The pitch of each string is as shown to the left. Pitches that
are connected with arrows are the same pitch. Therefore, if
you tune one string, you can use that string to tune the
other strings as well. If
you do not have any
musical instruments
nearby, the pitch for
the dial tone when you
pick up the phone is
“G”. You may find it
useful to tune the 3rd
string with this pitch.
Loosen the screws securing the pickup
before adjusting the position of the pickup.
Change a string if it has broken or become worn. Use strings for
electric gutars. We recommend the string gauges to the right. To
change the string, (1) turn the pegs so that there is no tension
remaining in any of the strings. (2) Remove the neck cover and body
cover. (3) Remove the washer head screw on the back of the neck
that is securing the string to be changed. (4) Remove the bolt
securing the string anchor shaft. (5) Pull and lift up the string anchor
shaft and remove the string from the shaft. (6) Pass the new string
through the shaft and retighten the string.
Let's make
some noise
After you have actually made some sound, try changing
the spacing between the strings or the position of the
pickup. You may find a difference in ease of play and in
the sound. Try moving them around until you find
positions that you like.

Insert the batteries into the battery box and turn the
volume dial to ON. The LED power indicator lights when
the power is on. You can adjust the volume with the
