Step 2: To set up your intonation, play the 12th fret harmonic of your high E string
(place finger lightly on the high E above the twelfth fret and pluck - the string
should keep ringing when you remove your finger) and tune it to E. Then play the
12th fret E note with the same pressure you would normally use playing. If this
note is sharp (compared to the harmonic B) you need to lengthen the string by
moving the saddle back. Do this by turning the intonation screw clockwise, then
retune and start step 2 again. Do this until the fretted and harmonic notes are
the same pitch. If it is flat you need to shorten the string by turning the intonation
screw counter-clockwise.
Repeat step 2 for the rest of the strings until the harmonic and fretted notes are in
tune with each other. Remember, every time a saddle is moved back and forth, or
up and down, the individual string needs to be retuned to pitch before comparing
the harmonic and fretted note.
STEP 8: Playing
Plug a stereo cable into your instrument's output jack to hear the mag and acous-
tic sounds separately (Diagram 12). The original mag signal is available on the
Tip contact of the stereo jack and can be connected to a conventional guitar amp.
The GHOST signal is available on the Ring contact of the stereo jack and should
be connected to a full-range acoustic guitar amp, keyboard amp, or PA system. A
"Y" cable (stereo plug to two mono jacks) allows convenient connection.
If you have installed the Acousti-Phonic Intelligent Pre-amp, you may also plug a
mono cable into your instrument. The Acousti-Phonic Intelligent Pre-amp senses
the mono plug and automatically switches to a blended signal. The blended
sound can be varied with the individual mag and GHOST volume controls.
