PLAYING/TUNING

Plug In the tremolo arm 

14 .

You can

 

adjust its mobility 

by the adjustment screw  

15 .

For guitar tuning please use
the tuner knobs   

1  .

If the tuner knob`s tuning 
range is used up, please 
un ghten the string locking 
screw of the locking nut  

20

 .

Please turn the tuner knob  

1  

upwards to an upper posi on  
to get enough adjustment 
range again. 

Then tune the guitar by the 
machine heads based on the 
guitar`s head stock. Finally
fix the strings with the string 
locking screws 

20

  of the

locking nut again.

  

   

To prevent sudden string 
break do not  ghten the 
machine heads of the headstock 
without loosening the locking
screws of the locking nut!

Please  ghten all string lock 
screws so ly for a long life. 
A er the first resistance
while screwing a 
„10 minutes turn“ 
clockwise is enough!
