Frequently Asked Questions - Riptide EVENTIDE
How do I tune the Riptide guitar?
Use a tuner. Pluck each string and adjust the tuning pegs until the pitch matches standard EADGBE. Turn the peg clockwise to tighten (raise pitch) or counterclockwise to loosen (lower pitch).
How often should I change the strings?
Every 2-3 months or when they sound dull or feel rough. Frequency depends on playing time and sweat acidity. Clean strings after each use to extend life.
How do I adjust the intonation?
Use a screwdriver to move the saddle forward (sharp note) or backward (flat note) on each string. Tune the open string, then check the 12th fret harmonic; adjust until both match. Set up with new strings for accuracy.
What type of strings are recommended?
Light gauge nickel-plated steel strings (e.g., .009-.042). Choose coated strings for longer life if you have acidic sweat.
How do I clean the guitar?
Wipe the body and neck with a soft dry cloth after each use. For dirt, use a barely damp cloth, then dry. Never use harsh chemicals. Clean fretboard with lemon oil every 6 months.
How do I adjust the action (string height)?
Turn the truss rod (at headstock) to adjust neck relief, and raise/lower the bridge saddles with a screwdriver. Check relief first: capo first fret, press last fret, measure gap at 8th fret. Aim for 0.010 inch.
My guitar has no sound when plugged into an amplifier. What should I check?
First, ensure the amplifier is on and volume is up. Check the guitar cable for damage. Make sure the guitar's volume knob is turned up. If still no sound, try a different cable or input. Internal wiring may need inspection.
Does the Riptide require a battery?
No, this is a passive guitar. It does not use batteries. The sound is generated entirely by the pickups and does not require external power.
How do I change the strings?
Loosen each string at the tuning peg, remove from bridge pins (acoustic) or tremolo block (electric). Thread new string through bridge and tuning peg, wind tightly. Stretch new strings after installation to stabilize tuning.
Where can I buy spare parts like knobs or strap buttons?
Spare parts can be purchased from music stores or online retailers. Use standard guitar parts compatible with the Riptide. For exact fit, contact Eventide support or refer to the parts list in the manual.
