ON-BOARD ELECTRONICS
USING THE ELECTRONICS:
The preamp features standard Volume, Treble and Bass controls. There is also a Phase switch which inverts
the polarity of the guitar’s output; in certain conditions when using sound reinforcement, this can improve
the overall sound and assist in reducing feedback. There is no default setting—try both and see which gives
you the best tone.
The built-in headphone amp powers headphones from the 1/8” output on the preamp control plate. The
headphone amp will automatically turn on when headphones are plugged into the headphone jack.
Be sure to unplug all cables from your guitar when not in use to save battery life. Expect an average battery
life of 110 hours with headphone amp engaged and 275 hours without the headphone amp engaged. The
total average life for typical usage is 475 hours.
USING THE TUNER:
Push the Tuner button to engage the electronic tuner (this mutes the signal going to the both the 1/4” and
1/8” outputs.) The note name will appear on the LCD display, and small LED lights to the left will indicate if
the pitch is high (H), in tune (T) or low (L). The tuner works when the guitar is unplugged.
CHANGING THE BATTERY:
The “BATT LO” indicator will light it’s time to replace the batteries. The battery pouch is located inside the
body of the guitar, just below the neck joint, attached by a strip of hook-and-loop fastener. To gain access to
the battery pouch, loosen the three bass stings: E(6), A(5), and D(4). Reach inside and pull the battery
pouch away from its hook-and-loop fastener and out of the sound hole, being careful not to tug on the
attached wires. Open the pouch, carefully remove the battery compartment, and replace the 2 x AAA
batteries. Test the tuner before moving on to ensure that the batteries are installed correctly.
If the tuner is working properly, replace the battery compartment in the pouch and close it securely. Then, re-
attach the pouch to its hook-and-loop fastener inside the body, making sure it is secure, then re-install the
strings.
