IT IS THEREFORE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT ALL STRING HEIGHT AND ACTION ADJUSTMENTS BE MADE BY MEANS OF THE NECK TILT ADJUSTMENT FEATURE, AND THAT THE BRIDGE HEIGHT NOT BE CHANGED FROM ITS FACTORY SETTING. Saddle Height Adjustment: All saddle height and intonation adjustments must be made prior to tightening string iock. Refer to enclosed Kahler literature package String Intonation: Accurate string intonation settings insure that your instrument will play in tune at any point on the neck. Although “perfect intonation” is a physical impossibility with a fretted instrument, the correct settings will maximize the accuracy of individual notes up and down the neck. Intonation is set by comparing the pitch of an open string to the pitch of thesamestring when it is playedone octave higher at the 12th fret. The actual “vibrating length" of that string is varied until the notes are both at the right pitch. The “vibrating length" of the string is altered by adjusting the bridge saddle either forward or backward, depending on whether the fretted note is sharper or flatter in pitch than the open note. If the fretted note is sharper than the open note, the vibrating length of the string must be increased; move the bridge saddle to the rear, away from the pickups. If the fretted note is flat, the vibrating length must be shortened; move the bridge saddle forward, toward the pickups, to shorten the length Refer to enclosed Kahler literature package for saddle adjustment instructions. NOTE: IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT FOR THE UNTRAINED EAR TO DETERMINE WHEN THE OPEN NOTE AND THE FRETTED NOTE ARE AT PRECISELY THE SAME PITCH. SOME PLAYERS FIND THAT COMPARING THE 12TH FRET HARMONIC OF THE STRING (RATHER THAN THE OPEN NOTE) TO THE FRETTED NOTE IS MUCH EASIER. A HARMONIC IS PLAYED BY PLUCKING THE STRING WITH THE RIGHT HAND WHILE TOUCH- ING THE STRING WITH THE LEFT INDEX FINGER (AS LIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE) DIRECTLY ABOVE THETWELFTH FRET. THE LEFT INDEX FINGER IS DRAWN AWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AFTER THESTRING IS PLUCKED, PRODUCING A "CHIME” EFFECT. THIS CHIMED NOTE IS THEN COMPARED TO THE FRETTED NOTE. For even greater ease and high degree of accuracy, we recommend one of the many types of electronic guitar tuners that are available from most music stores. The tuners which use either a meter or a moving LED display are usually easier to use than the type with a numerical frequency readout. NOTE: BOTH TORSION ROD AND STRING HEIGHT SETTINGS INTERACT CLOSELY WITH STRING INTONATION. THESE ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SET STRING INTONATION AT THE BRIDGE. 1 Insure that torsion rod and string height settings are accurate. 2. Tune guitar to standard (A-440) pitch. 3. Hold the instrument in a normal playing position or place the guitar on a clean flat surface so that only the body is in contact with the work surface. Any pressure on the neck will affect intonation settings 4. Play the 1st string open and compare it to the pitch of the same string when it is played at the 12th fret. These notes should be the same (one octave apart). 5. Using wrench supplied with Kahler tremolo unit, adjust the string saddle so that both the fretted and open notes are the same. Refer to enclosed Kahler literature package for saddle adjustment instructions. NOTE: IT WILL OFTEN BE NECESSARY TO RETURN THE OPEN STRING TO STANDARD PITCH AFTER THE BRIDGE POSITION IS ALTERED. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings. 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 as necessary until intonation of all the strings is accurately adjusted Care for the Instrument: This is a high quality musical instrument constructed from the finest materials and with the most up-to-date production methods available. With reasonable care, it should provide many, many years of service and outstanding playability. Temperature and Humidity: It is important that your instrument be protected from any extremes of sudden changes in either temperature or humidity. The instrument should be stored in its case whenever it is not in use. Strings: String life may be greatly extended by frequent cleaning and wiping after use. Dirt and perspiration tend to build up on the underside of the strings, so it is often necessary to slide a rag between the strings and the fingerboard Dirt-laden strings cause tuning and intonation problems, as well as rust and corrosion. For best performance, strings should be changed approximately once a month or every twenty-four playing hours. Some players may find that they prefer to change strings more often. Finish: Your instrument has a polyester/urethane finish which is both durable and weather-resistant, but nevertheless needs care. Automotive-grade waxes will protect, clean, and shine it. Between waxings. the instrument should be wiped with a dry, soft cloth.
