Frequently Asked Questions - ShowKit Electric MAX

How to change the guitar strings?

Unwind the old string at the top of the neck, push it through the body via the bridge hole. Insert a new string into the corresponding hole, pass it over the nut and along the neck, thread it through the tuning peg hole, bend it and wind it using the tuning peg. It is recommended to change one string at a time.

How to tune the guitar with the clip-on tuner?

Attach the tuner to the guitar headstock using the clip. Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on. Select the tuning mode (chromatic, guitar or bass) by pressing the button multiple times. Play a single note; the backlight turns green if the note is in tune, blue on the left if too low, blue on the right if too high.

What to do if the tuner does not work?

Turn off and then on again. If the problem persists, remove the CR2032 battery and reinsert it observing polarity. Check that the battery is not depleted.

How to adjust the volume and tone of the amplifier?

Use the Volume knob for overall volume. For tone, adjust Treble (highs), Middle (mids) and Bass (lows). The Gain knob controls distortion, and Boost enables or disables it.

Can I plug headphones or an MP3 player into the amplifier?

Yes, the amplifier has a Phones jack for headphones and an Aux jack for connecting an external audio source (MP3 player, phone).

What are the important safety precautions?

Do not open the device; only repairs by a qualified technician are allowed. Unplug the device during a storm or if unused for a long time. Use a grounded outlet. Avoid moisture and extreme temperatures.

How to maintain the guitar?

TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

The adjustment knobs feature spring-loaded mechanisms that automatically absorb wear, preventing backlash. However, it is possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the machines. Each mechanism is equipped with a tension adjustment screw, as shown.

Turning the screw clockwise tightens the mechanism. The adjusting knobs should be adjusted so that they are firm but turn smoothly. This adjustment is not normally necessary, and over-tightening may cause premature wear of the adjustment knobs.
