Guide Setup

Ngabongkar sareng Inspeksi Awal

Carefully remove the guitar from its packaging. Inspect the instrument for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping. Ensure all accessories, such as the tremolo arm, are present.

Tuning

Before playing, tune your guitar using an electronic tuner. Standard tuning for a 6-string guitar is E-A-D-G-B-e (from thickest to thinnest string).

Adjustment Peta

The string action (height of strings above the fretboard) is factory-set but can be adjusted to personal preference. Lower action generally makes the guitar easier to play, while higher action can prevent fret buzz and increase sustain. Adjustments should be made at the bridge saddles and, if necessary, the truss rod (professional setup recommended for truss rod adjustments).

Intonasi

Intonation ensures that notes played at the 12th fret are in tune with the open string. This is adjusted by moving the bridge saddles forward or backward. Tune the open string, then check the pitch at the 12th fret. If the 12th fret note is sharp, move the saddle back; if it's flat, move it forward.

Pickup Selector Functions

The 5-way selector switch provides access to various pickup combinations:

• Posisi 1 (Sasak): Activates the bridge humbucker for a bright, powerful tone, ideal for lead and heavy rhythm.
• Position 2 (Bridge & Middle Single-Coil): Combines the bridge humbucker with the middle single-coil for a brighter, articulate sound.
• Position 3 (Middle Single-Coil): Activates the middle single-coil pickup for a balanced, clear tone.
• Position 4 (Middle Single-Coil & Neck): Combines the middle single-coil with the neck humbucker for a warm, full-bodied sound with clarity.
• Posisi 5 (Beuheung): Activates the neck humbucker for a warm, smooth tone, excellent for clean passages and bluesy leads.

Tremolo System

The T106 tremolo bridge allows for pitch bending effects. Insert the tremolo arm into its receptacle on the bridge. Gentle use of the tremolo arm can add vibrato or dive-bomb effects to your playing. Excessive use may affect tuning stability.
