Setting up and adjusting the guitar

Adjusting the Neck Relief
With the guitar tuned, press the low E string down at both the 1st and 22nd frets and check the distance between the top
of the 8th fret and the bottom of the low E string. Ideally, you'll see a gap about the same size as the diameter of the high E
string. If you see too much relief, you'll need to tighten the truss rod by turning the truss rod adjustment nut clockwise with
the included tool. If you don't see enough relief, or if the string is touching the 8th fret, you'll need to loosen the truss rod by
turning the truss rod adjustment nut counter-clockwise.
Never force the truss rod. If you are uncomfortable with this kind of adjustment, take your guitar to a qualified service center.
Adjusting the String Height
To lower the string height, turn the height adjustment wheel (a) clockwise. To raise the string height, turn this counterclock-
wise. When changing the string height, avoid turning just one wheel by a large amount. To avoid letting the bridge tilt exces-
sively, alternate between turning one wheel and then turning the other.
Adjusting the Intonation
Changes in neck relief, string action, or string gauges can all change intonation. To check the intonation, compare the pitch
of the note fretted at the 12th fret to the pitch of the 12th fret harmonic for each string. If the fretted note is sharp (higher in
pitch than the harmonic), you'll need to make the string longer by turning the intonation adjustment screw clockwise. If the
fretted note is flat (lower in pitch than the harmonic), you'll need to make the string shorter by turning the intonation adjust-
ment screw counterclockwise.

Care

When you finish playing, wipe the guitar down with a clean, soft cloth. Use a quality guitar polish occasionally, following the
manufacturer's instructions.
Protect your instrument from temperature extremes and sudden changes in temperature. A guitar left in a hot trunk of a car at full string tension
can literally pull itself apart. If a cold guitar is brought suddenly into a heated room, the finish can crack.
