Resumen del manual
Painting/Finishing Tips: • Always work in a well ventilated area when using finishing materials. • Wear an ANSI-approved respirator mask and safety glasses when using finishing materials! • Fabricate hooks from shirt hangers to suspend the guitar components during the finishing process. • Several thinner coats usually produce a nicer finish than one heavy coat. Note—Always follow the finish manufacturer’s instructions. • Dust particles suspended in the air will settle on wet finishes, resulting in less than satisfactory results. To avoid this problem: 1. Leave the finishing room undisturbed for 24 hours prior to applying the finish. 2. Have the guitar components positioned for the finish application upon entering the finish room. 3. Avoid making unnecessary movements upon entering the finish room. 4. Apply the finish and immediately leave the finish room. 5. DO NOT return to the finish room until the specified drying time has elapsed. H3122 Classical Guitar Kit -11 Sound Hole Decal Attaching Bridge To attach the sound hole decal: 1. Submerge the decal sheet in water until the clear decal slides around on the paper backing easily with finger pressure. This usually only takes a few minutes. 2. Remove the decal sheet from the water, letting the excess water run off. 3. Lay the decal sheet over the sound hole. 4. Lightly press down on the decal with dampened fingers and slowly slide the decal sheet from underneath the decal with the other hand. 5. When the decal sheet is completely removed, lightly press on the decal with a dry cloth to remove the excess water trapped underneath. To attach the bridge to the body: 1. Remove the masking tape from the bridge location. 2. Apply a thin, even layer of wood glue to the back of the bridge. 3. Position the bridge on the bridge location penciled on the body. 4. Make sure the bridge is correctly positioned and let it dry for at least 6 hours. 5. Using a 1.8" drill bit, drill out the two mounting holes in the bridge. 6. Secure the bridge to the body with the supplied screws, washers, and nuts. 7. The heads of the screws can be covered with the bridge decoration sticker. -12- H3122 Classical Guitar Kit Machine Heads Installing Strings The machine heads mount so the buttons are on the back side of the headstock. To install the machine heads: 1. Slide the machine heads through the peg holes on the side of the headstock. Note— Make sure the lyre end of the machine head is positioned as shown in Figure 10. Lyre Figure 10.Correct tuning machine position. 4. Using a 1.16" drill bit, drill 5.16" deep holes straight through the screw holes in the machine heads. 5. Secure the machine heads to the guitar headstock with the included eight 5.16" wood screws. H3122 Classical Guitar Kit Figure 12.Correct string knots. (Continued) The correct position of the guitar strings are shown in Figure 11. The thin High E string is called the “1st” string and the thick Low E string is called the “6th” string. Figure 11. Correct guitar string position. To install the guitar strings: 1. Slide the string ends through the holes in the bridge. 2. Tie the strings as shown in Figure 12. 6 5 E 4 3 D 2 1 B A G E -13 3. Place the saddle in the bridge saddle slot and place the nut at the upper end of the fingerboard. Note—DO NOT glue the nut or the saddle at this time. 4. Route the string to the inside of the corresponding tuning peg and through the peg hole. Note—Allow enough string slack to allow 2-3 complete winds around the tuning peg. 5. Turn the tuning button counter-clockwise to tighten the string. Note—DO NOT overtighten the string. Final string tuning will be discussed later in the manual. 6. Use wire cutters to cut off the excess string. 7. Repeat the above process for the remaining strings. String Height Correct string height is crucial for maximizing the playability of your new guitar. The string height is defined as the distance between the top face of the fret and the bottom face of the string (Figure 13). Figure 13.String height measurement (side view). String Height String Fret Fingerboard Measurements are taken at the following locations. Note—Use a steel ruler with a resolution of at least 1.64": • 1st fret: 1st string & 6th string • 12th fret: 1st string & 6th string (Continued) -14- H3122 Classical Guitar Kit To check the string heights of the 1st and 6th To check the string heights of the 1st and 6th strings at the 1st fret: strings at the 12th fret: Measure the string heights at the 1st fret (Figure Measure the string heights at the 12th fret 14). (Figure 15). 1st String: 1.64" 6th String: 2.64" Guitar Body String Nut 1st Fret 6th String: 5.64" 1st String: 3.64" 12th Fret Figure 14. Correct 1st fret string heights. — If the string heights are correct (Figure 33), then move to checking the string heights at the 12th fret. — If the string heights are incorrect at the 1st fret, this is an indication that the groove the string nut sits in needs to be either deepened or made shallower.
