Battery Replacement When the Battery LED lights steadily, it is time to change the battery. To replace the battery, remove the fabric bag inside the guitar. We recommend a lithium type for extended battery life. You can expect up to hours from a lithium battery and 33 hours from an alkaline battery. - Page 9 Controls The controls are arranged in two distinct levels.
