User manual

The neck is equipped with a steel truss rod that can be used to adjust the relief to
your preferences.
After tuning the strings, check the relief by pressing on the low E string at the rst
and twelfth fret. The closer the string is to the ngerboard at the sixth fret, the more
noise (buzz) will be audible when the guitar is played.
Adjust the neck relief using an appropriate Allen key as follows:
n Turn the truss bar clockwise to increase tension. The neck will become straighter,
even convex in extreme cases. The string will be closer to the ngerboard, is
easier to fret, but will buzz more during playing.
n Turn the truss bar counterclockwise to decrease tension. The neck will respond
more to the string tension and become correspondingly more concave. The
string will be farther from the ngerboard, be somewhat harder to fret, but will
cause less or no noise during playing.
Adjust the truss bar only by about a quarter turn per setting, then retune all the
strings to the correct pitch and check the neck relief again after a short time. Repeat
this process until the desired neck relief is reached.
