CARE AND MAINTENANCE Congratulations on your purchase of the YAMAHA electric guitar. With reasonable care, your YAMAHA electric guitar will age gracefully and provide many years of superlative musical service. * When connecting or disconnecting cables, turn off the amplifier and other equipment or reduce the volume. * After playing, wipe the entire guitar down, including strings, with a good polishing cloth. This will remove corrosive skin oils and acids, and protect the plating, finish, and strings.
TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE LOCKING NUT 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. 1) Remove 3 pcs. of hexagonal screws fixing the Lock Pads. (illustration — A) 2) Loosen 4 pcs. of screws fixing the Nut Base.
SETTING THE STRING ACTION — Bridge — Height adjustment screws (for each strings) NOTE: Be sure to perform any necessary adjustments to the truss rod before performing the following adjustments. 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.
VIBRATO SYSTEM Vintage Type Following is the procedure for adjusting the vintage vibrato system: 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. Turn clockwise Bridge saddle When Higher than harmonic Adjustment screw ● If fretted pitch is lower than harmonic, saddle must be moved forward to shorten string.
VIBRATO SYSTEM Locking Type (part 1) When changing strings it is necessary to cut off the ball ends of the strings. Following is the procedure for changing strings and adjusting the vibrato system: 7) Lock the strings above the nut. (illustration — A) 8) Use the fine tuning thumb screw to tune the guitar to the correct pitch. (illustration — C) 1) Using the supplied hexagonal wrench, loosen the three hexagonal screws on the lock above the nut.
VIBRATO SYSTEM Locking Type (part 2) Intonation Adjustment in Vibrato Bridge Tighten D 1) Loosen the hexagonal screw located in front of each saddle using the supplied hexagonal wrench. (illustration — D) Lower 2) Slide the saddles by hand to adjust the length of each string. C Loosen 3) When the intonation is correct, tighten the hexagonal screw in front of each saddle to ensure that its position stays stationary.
BRIDGE/SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENTS For best results the bridge should always be adjusted so it is parallel to the top surface of the guitar as shown in illustration (below). This position is maintained by opposing tension between the strings and the claw springs. If you change string gauge, you will need to readjust the spring tension to return the bridge back to the parallel position.
TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT PICKUP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The curvature of the neck should be slightly concave. Clockwise rotation of the nut tightens the rod and corrects for too much concave bow. Counterclockwise rotation of the nut loosens the rod and corrects for too much convex bend. Make any adjustments gradually. Allow five to ten minutes for setting, and check the curvature after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut. The height of the pickup (i.e.
CORRECT USE AND HANDLING OF BATTERIES Battery (6LR61 : 9V, S-006P) Battery (6LR61 : 9V, S-006P) When these run out, don’t just throw them away, but dispose of them as minor chemical waste. * When changing batteries, pay close attention to the +/- polarity markings as shown in the illustration above. 10 01̲e̲g̲om̲en.indd 10 09.3.
