2. Gain - Adjust the amount of pre-amp gain. High gain setting will supply more distortion and sustain.
3. Boost – Turn on/off the gain control
4. Volume – Adjust amplifier loudness
5. Treble – Adjust the treble tone.
6. Middle - Adjust the middle tone.
7. Bass - Adjust the bass tone.

SETTING THE STRING

String height refers to the space between the strings and frets, and has an affect on playability. String height is adjusted with the bridge and/or the saddle on the bridge. Adjust height by alternately turning the screws little by little on the left and right sides. Set too high and the instrument is hard to play. Too low results in fret noise. Adjust so that the space between the string and the last fret measures as follows:

String	Tuning	Height
1	E	1.9mm
2	B	2.0mm
3	G	2.1mm
4	D	2.2mm
5	A	2.3mm
6	E	2.4mm

To check intonation, compare the harmonic tone (12th fret) to the fretted tone (12th fret).

- If fretted pitch is higher than harmonic, saddle must be moved backward to lengthen string.

TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the machines. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw, as illustrated.

Clockwise screw rotation tightens the machine. The tuning machines should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but can turn smoothly. This adjustment is normally unnecessary, and excessive tightening can lead to premature tuning machine wear.

CHANGE THE STRINGS

1. Unwind the old string at the tuning machine at the top of the neck (it is recommended to change 1 string at a time)
2. Push the old string through the body of the guitar through the hole in the bridge.
3. Insert a new string through the corresponding hole (compare the thickness of the new string to the old string to make sure it is the correct string).
4. Run the string over the nut in the bridge and along the neck.
5. Feed the string through the hole in the tuning machine post.
6. Bend the string around the post and wind the string using a tuning peg.
