  • Page 4 Congratulations on your purchase of this Siracusa 15E+ or Siracusa 16E+ guitar! Your satisfaction is my number one priority. Thank You for choosing my product, and please consider my guitars for future purchases.

  • Page 5: Care

    CARE ⚠ Siracusa guitars are nothing like conventional archtops with plates that triple the thickness, virtually indestructible. So, please, read and observe what follows. ⚠ Do not allow the guitar to stay in places where humidity,  temperature or light conditions are extreme. These can affect very seriously the stability of wood and adhesives.
  • Page 6 Clean your instrument with well proven products designed  specifically for this job. Avoid abrasive cleaners or those containing silicone or solvents such as alcohol or acetone. Do not try to lubricate the machine heads.  Try to clean the strings after use with a dry clean cloth. ...

  • Page 7: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Tools Your guitar comes with a tool pouch, enough for the most common operations described below. It contains a small (2 mm) and a large (4 mm) Hex keys. Changing Strings You should do this… Whenever the strings don’t sound bright, are worn or dirty or have tuning problems in certain areas of the fretboard.

  • Page 8: Adjusting The Bridge Height

    Adjusting the Bridge Height You should do this… Whenever there are buzzes in wide areas of the fretboard. The height may be lowered if the action is too high and there are no buzzes. Necessary tools: Small Hex key, supplied with the guitar. Method: Depending on the problem affecting more the bass strings than the treble...

  • Page 9: Adjusting The Compensation

    Adjusting the Compensation This procedure must be performed so that all the notes and their octaves sound reasonably in unison, independent from their position on the fretboard. A guitar that is not well compensated can be especially unpleasant when playing chords that mix notes fingered in high frets with open strings.
  • Page 10 bridge will have to be moved closer to the tailpiece. Otherwise, move it further away from the tailpiece (see drawing). Check the same for the fifth string, but  this time try to move only the bass side of the bridge, as you should not modify its position for the string that you adjusted first.

  • Page 11: Adjusting The Truss Rod Tension

    Adjusting the Truss Rod Tension You should do this… When there are buzzes but the action is high. This has three main probable causes: - Change of the tension exerted on the neck, usually following the change of the string gauge or alternate tunings. - Wood adaptation to the strings/truss rod tension and compression forces.
  • Page 12 If the gauge doesn’t fit, turn the adjustment nut with the large Hex  key, counter-clockwise as seen from the peghead end, an eighth of a turn or less (see drawing). Wait until the following day, then adjust the  height of the bridge (Page 6) and repeat the process.

  • Page 13: Adjusting The Pickup-String Clearance

    Adjusting the Pickup-String Clearance You should do this… When you notice that the amplified sound of a string or group of strings is louder or weaker than the others, or when the output of a pickup is too high or too low. Necessary tools: You will need the small Hex key supplied with the guitar.
  • Page 14 Bronze wound strings have a fantastic acoustic tone, but their volume is quite low when used with magnetic pickups. The plain strings in the set (usually the first and second) will have a much higher volume, resulting in a very strong imbalance. The logical way to correct this problem is to raise the polepieces of the wound strings and lower the polepieces of the plain strings, trying to equalize their output.

    Electric Controls All the controls are located at the pickguard:...
  • Page 16 Pickup Selector in the Neck Position.- There are two cases, depending on the Neck Pickup Mode Switch. If it is in the HB position (toggle towards the peghead, A in the drawing below) then the selected pickup will be a series humbucker made up by the two coils closer to the neck.

  • Page 17: Box: Enhanced Single Coil Pickup

    Enhanced Single Coil Pickup The Neck Pickup Mode Switch permits to select either a Humbucker or a Single Coil for the neck pickup. When in Humbucker mode (toggle towards the peghead, see diagram A on previous page), you’ll have a full tone, almost free of hum.

  • Page 19: Specifications

    Specifications Variable Materials: Wood: Usually maple, walnut or sapele for the back and sides, and spruce for  the top; maple for the neck. The fretboard, peghead face, bridge and tailpiece are usually made of ebony. The pickguard skin is made of ziricote most times (its core is always carbon), and the pickups are usually made of ziricote or ebony.
