Carvin's Synth Access guitars open a whole new world of electric/acoustic/synth
guitar. These guitars are compatible with 13-pin standard (GK) hexaphonic
synth access guitar devices as made by Roland and Axxon. The hexaphonic
signals are converted to MIDI data inside a Roland or Axxon guitar synth, al-
lowing the connection of other MIDI devices to be chained and triggered from
the guitar. See the reverse side of this document for detailed diagrams.

Changing Strings
When putting on a new set of strings, make sure the strings sit centered
on the saddle as shown above. Improper installation over the saddle
will result in tracking problems with the synth access. You may use
the intonation adjustment screws to move each saddle back and forth
should this be required. NEVER alter or modify the saddle shape or
string slot. These Graph Tech™ saddles are actual pickups for the
acoustic and synth signals.

Battery replacement:
Carvin ships the SH575 with a brand new 9v battery. The
battery is required for the active Graph Tech™ acoustic
preamp. Unplug the 1/4" cables when not in use to pre-
serve battery life. Replace the battery if you experience
loss of audio or distorted acoustic sound. A battery is not
needed when the 13-pin cable is used exclusively. Leaving
the 13-pin cable plugged in will not drain the battery.
Any attempt to file or alter the saddle will
