User manual

The neck is equipped with a steel truss rod, with which the neck relief can be
adjusted individually to the playing habits.
After tuning the strings, check the neck relief by pressing the low E string on the rst
and twelfth fret. The closer the string is to the ngerboard at the sixth fret, the more
noise (buzzing) will be heard when playing the guitar.
Adjust the neck relief with a suitable Allen key as follows:
n Turn the truss rod clockwise to increase the tension. The neck becomes
straighter, in extreme cases convex. The string is closer to the ngerboard, easier
to grip but causes more background noise when playing.
n Turn the truss rod counter-clockwise to decrease the tension. The neck yields
more to the string tension and accordingly curves concave. The string moves
away from the ngerboard, is a bit harder to grip, but causes less to no back‐
ground noise when playing.
Adjust the truss rod by about a quarter turn per setting, tune all strings to the correct
pitch after each adjustment, and check the neck relief again after some time. Repeat
the process until the desired neck relief is achieved.
