, causing the neck
curvature to be more concave.
Adjust the truss rod nut in small increments of a quarter ※
turn, checking the tuning while you do so.
Memo
You must take care when adjusting the neck. •
Forced adjustments can damage your guitar. If you are unable to adjust the neck correctly, please contact
your Ibanez authorized dealer.
CLEANING
After playing, wipe sweat and oil off metal parts such
as the underside of the strings, the frets, bridge
saddles and nut. This will help to prevent rust.
Dirt or dust that adheres to metal parts may adversely
affect their function. Wipe off stubborn dirt with a soft
cloth moistened with a small amount of oil.
If the tremolo arm should squeak when turning, apply
some grease to the notch on the shorter side of the
tremolo arm.
To clean the fi nished surface, do not use volatile or
abrasive cleaning compounds; instead gently wipe
using a soft cloth with polish formulated specifi cally
for musical instruments.
To clean off dirt that has adhered to an oil fi nished body or neck, use a pencil eraser, fi ne sandpaper of #1000
or fi ner grade, or #0000 steel wool. You can prevent drying by polishing once or twice a year with a colorless
furniture fi nish oil or gun oil applied to #0000 steel wool or a cloth. Unfi nished fi ngerboards should be
carefully wiped with a cloth moistened with a small amount of fi ngerboard oil or high-quality lemon oil, wiping
carefully to the edge of the frets.
BATTERY
If your guitar has a built-in pre-amplifi er or equalizer, it will be powered by a battery. Replace the battery when
you notice that the volume level has decreased or the sound has become distorted.
Some models use a 006P (9V) battery, and other models use two AA (1.5V) batteries.
Check the type of batteries used by your guitar, and replace them with the same type of batteries.
The batteries are found in the battery box located on the back of the body.
On models equipped with a battery, the output jack also functions as a power switch; inserting a plug into the
jack will turn on the power.
Memo
To prevent the battery from running down, remove the plug from the output jack if you will not be using •
it for an extended period.
