PRECAUTIONS
Always set the VOLUME control to “0” when plugging in or
unplugging the connection cable.
The battery check indicator will light briefly when a plug is inserted or
removed from the output jack. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.
The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a plug is
inserted into the output jack.
Remove the plug from the output jack to turn off preamplifier power
and avoid unnecessary battery drain whenever the instrument is not
used or when playing without amplification.
If the instrument is not going to be used for an extended period of
time, we recommend that the battery be removed in order to avoid
power consumption or leakage.

USING THE SOUND HOLE COVER
Feedback often occurs when controls are boosted on the electric acous-
tic guitar to match the volume of other instruments when playing in a band.
When the instrument is used under the conditions described above, the
Sound Hole Cover should be inserted into the sound hole.
With the Sound Hole Cover in place, feedback is effectively reduced.
* Remove the sound hole cover before storing instruments with lacquer finishes (L
36 models, etc.). Not doing so can damage the finish.

NOMENCLATURE/THE CONTROLS
q
Master Volume Control (VOL.)
The 3 mixed pickup levels are sent to the VOL., which adjusts the overall
sound output level.
* Make sure that the VOL. is turned to “0” before connecting or disconnecting.
* Raising the VOL. level will produce no sound if all pickup level controls are set
to “0”.
w
Pickup Level Controls
MAIN
: Controls the volume of the main pickup.
TREBLE
: Controls the volume of the treble side sub pickup.
BASS
: Controls the volume of the bass side sub pickup.
The Main Pickup delivers a balanced sound output of the acoustic guitar’s
basic tonal elements. Mixing in the dynamics and harmonic overtones
produced by the sub pickup outputs can be used to achieve a wide range
of tonal variations.
We recommend starting just with the output from the main pickup, and
adding and adjusting the output levels from the sub pickups (BASS/
TREBLE) to achieve a sound to your liking.
