- Page 4 Winding the strings on tuning keys Depending on the construction of the bridge, insert the ball into the slot of the bridge, pull the string through the hole in the tremolo block, pull the string through the hole in the body, or cut off the ball and install the string in the locking saddle (Floyd Rose).
- Page 5 Adjusting the bridge Fixed bridges The height of each single saddle is usually set by adjusting two screws at the sides of the saddle (fig. 8 and fig. 9). The saddles should be positioned in a slight curve - the difference between the inner and outer saddles should be close to 1mm.
- Page 6 Tremolo bridges In traditional vintage-type tremolos (attached to the body with 6 screws) the height of the strings over the frets is determined in the same way as in fixed bridges, that is by changing the height of each saddle separately. In newer...

- Page 10 Adjusting intonation Adjusting the intonation is crucial to eliminating the error in the string pitch on certain frets. It consists of tuning the string exactly to the desired pitch and then fine tuning its bridge saddle to make the pitch at the 12th fret exactly an octave higher. If after tuning a string the pitch on the 12th fret is too low, the saddle of the bridge should be moved toward the front edge of the bridge (the scale should be shortened).
- Page 11 Guitars with different active lengths (scale) of individual strings should generally be treated the same way as typical instruments. Most Mayones VFret guitars have a scale length of 25.4" to 27", which means that with a "standard" set of strings and a normal tuning (E-H-G-D-A-E-[H]-[F#]) —...
- Page 12 The height of the strings over the pickups The distance between the pickups and the strings is an important factor of the instrument’s sound. This distance depends on the type of pickups and the type of strings used. It is checked by fretting the string on the last fret and measuring the distance between the surface of the pickup and the surface of the string (fig.

The power is turned on when a 1/4" instrument cable plug is inserted into the guitar output jack (fig.

Page 14: Charging The Built-In Battery
Charging the built-in battery To charge the internal battery, use the supplied charger that provides optimized charging parameters (5 V, 1A). Due to its small dimensions and the delicate nature of the USB-C input and the charger plug, one should be very cautious when plugging the charger in and during the charging process. - Page 15 The battery would retain its baseline performance over ca. 500 charge-discharge cycles. Should a noticeable performance and capacity drop occur, please contact the Mayones service center or replace the battery at an authorized service point indicated by the instrument manufacturer or its dealer.
