SECTION 1: SAFETY

Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or read­ing glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropri
ate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the methods
stated in this plan. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know your
skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method
with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same
result.

These instructions assume that you are intimately familiar with the safe operation and use of
woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to build this
project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for your own
safety. Read and understand the owners manual for the machinery you intend to use, take a wood
working class or visit your local library for more information. Woodworking machinery and tools
are inherently dangerous because they use sharp edges that can and will cause serious personal
injury including amputation and death. Do not underestimate the ability of these tools and machin
ery to cause injury. Never operate any tool without all guards in place and always wear approved
safety glasses. For your own safety, please heed this warning.

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Sanding the Body

Components Needed Qty

Guitar Body .......................................................

The guitar body has been rough sanded at the
factory, but it is up to you to do the final sanding
before the finish is applied. To get a good finish,
the body should be sanded with a series of sand
paper grits up to #320 grit.

To sand the guitar body:

1. Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and
safety glasses when sanding!

2. Use a flexible sanding block with #220 grit

sanding paper to sand the entire guitar body
and lightly round over the outside edges
of the body. DO NOT round over the neck
pocket or the body cavities.

3. Apply a coat of spray primer according to the
primer manufacturer's instructions.

4. When the primer is dry, use #320 grit sandpa­per for final sanding. DO NOT sand through
the primer to the bare wood.

Finishing the Body

Components Needed Qty

Guitar Body .......................................................

Temporary Wood Neck .....................................

Wood Screws #7 x 1

Solid color finishes are available through hard

-

ware stores, auto paint suppliers or luthier supply
catalogs. Finish materials and books on finish
ing instruments can be ordered through Grizzly
Industrial. Painting an instrument is a difficult
process with many options. If you are unsure of
your skills, you can research finishing techniques
and practice on scraps, or have a professional
paint it for you.

1

⁄2" ......................................4

Most finishes are hazard­ous to your health. Wear a
NIOSH/OSHA approved res
pirator with particulate and
gas /vapor filters, safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and
work in a well ventilated area
when finishing.

Model H7582 Junior Electric Guitar Kit

To finish the guitar body:

1. Mask off the neck pocket. Press the masking

tape tight against the edges of the pocket so
the finish does not seep under the tape.

2. Fasten four wood screws through the neck
pocket holes into a scrap piece of wood
about 1" x 2" x 16". This will be used as a
handle when spraying finish.

3. Drill a hole in the end of the handle for hang
ing from a hook.

-7-

-

4. Wipe the entire guitar body with a tack cloth
or a soft clean rag to remove any dust.

5. Thread the hook through the temporary han­dle and hang the body in the finish room.

6. Apply several thin coats of the finish, follow
ing the manufacturer's instructions. Multiple
thin coats usually produce a better quality
finish than one heavy coat.

7. Allow to dry according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

11. Wet sand the finish using #600 grit wet/dry
sandpaper on a sanding block, followed with
#1000 grit sandpaper.

12. You may buff the finish by hand or with a buf­fer, starting with a medium polish and work

-

ing up to a high gloss polish.

Note: If using a buffing machine, be extreme-

ly careful to avoid going through the finish,
especially on the edges.

-

Note: Depending upon the type of finish

used and environmental factors, drying time
will vary.

To achieve an extremely high gloss finish with
lacquer, follow these optional steps:

8. Sand the entire body with #400 grit wet and
dry sandpaper after at least three coats of
finish have been applied. DO NOT sand
through the finish—be especially careful on
the edges.

9. Apply more finish, sanding between coats,
until the finish is the desired thickness.

10

. Allow to dry according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

Note: Depending upon the type of finish used

and environmental factors, drying time will
vary. Sometimes it may take up to a month
for the finish to reach its full hardness.

NOTICE

Dust particles suspended in the air will
settle on wet finishes, causing less than sat
isfactory results. To avoid this problem

• Leave the finish room undisturbed for
24 hours prior to applying the finish.

• Avoid making unnecessary movements
upon entering the finish room.

• Apply the finish to the guitar parts and
immediately leave the finish room.

• DO NOT return to the room until the
specified drying time has elapsed.

SECTION 5: SET UP

General

Guitar set up is an art that requires skill, patience
and experience. If you have the patience, you can
acquire the skill and experience. If you don't have
the patience, you may want to have your guitar
set up by a qualified guitar technician.

This section on set up is a general overview of
set up practices. We highly recommend that you
research more in-depth methods. Books on set
ting up electric guitars can be ordered through
Grizzly Industrial, luthier supply catalogs, or may
be available through your local library.

Neck Adjustment

Tools Needed Qty

Metal Straightedge 18" .......................................

Hex Wrench 5mm ...............................................

Feeler Gauge Set ...............................................

Phillips Head Screwdriver ...................................

The guitar neck was adjusted perfectly straight
before it was packaged; however, the moisture
content of wood acclimates to the humidity of
the surrounding environment. This characteristic
results in movement of the wood components
with regards to alignment. It is not uncommon
for the neck to require adjustment several times
each year, especially in regions where the sea
sonal climate changes are more drastic.

To adjust the bow of the guitar neck:

neck bows away from the straightedge,
continue to Step 3

3. Remove the strings from the neck and the
neck from the guitar body.

4. Turn the truss rod nut in the base of the neck
(Figure 26) counterclockwise with a 5mm
hex wrench to release tension on the neck.
Retighten until the nut begins to grab.

1. Tighten the strings to playing tension.

2. Place a straightedge from the 1st fret to

the 17th. Measure any gaps between the

Correct string height is crucial for maximizing the
playability of your electric guitar. The string height
is the distance between the top face of the fret
and the bottom face of the string (

string height above the 17th fret as shown in

Figure 27.

2. Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to adjust the saddle

height (
above the 17th fret.

Pickup height can have a dramatic effect on the
audio output signal. The closer the strings are
to the pickup, the higher the audio output signal
will be. If the strings are too close, distortion is
caused by magnetic interference from the elec
tronic components.

To measure the string height at the pickup:

1. Measure the height of the 1st and 6th strings

at the pickup while the strings are “fretted” at

Setting the intonation adjusts the length of the
string to correct for flatness/sharpness on each
string. This is a simple process that takes a lot of
trial and error.

To set the intonation:

1. Lightly touch and then release the 1st string

directly above the twelfth fret as you pluck
the string to play a harmonic note.

2. Now pluck the string while holding it fretted at
the twelfth fret. If this note is sharper than the
note played in Step

screw

the neck.

Note: This can also be done with an elec-

tronic tuner by tuning the harmonic note to
be exactly in tune and then adjusting the
saddle until the note played in Step 2 is also
in tune.

tune. Repeat the process for the rest of the

Tuning is an important guitar concept. If the guitar
is not in tune, the resulting sound is unpleasant.
These instructions explain how to tune by ear.
You can also tune using an electronic tuner such
as the Grizzly H3097 Chromatic Tuner shown on

Page 21.

4. Tune the 5th string by playing the 6th string

while it is being pressed (fretted) at the 5th
fret, and then play the open 5th string.

Adjust

the 5th string tuner until the notes match.

5. Perform the same tuning steps on the 4th and
3rd strings.

6. When tuning the 2nd string, fret the 3rd string
at the 4th fret instead of the 5th fret.

To tune the guitar:

1. Install a 9V battery into the battery case.

2. Play a Low E pitch on a piano, a tuning fork,

or an electronic computer file.

3. Play an open (non-fretted) 6th string (Figure

31) and adjust the tuner to match the Low

E.

Note: Always tune up. If the string is tuned

high, loosen the string to lower the pitch,
then tune the string up to the correct note.

7. Tune the 1st string in the same manner as
the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.

Basic Guitar Care

Use a clean, lint-free cotton cloth to wipe your gui­tar on a regular basis. Never use paper towels.

If you plan to store the guitar for several months,
remove the battery, loosen the strings a little
store in a place where the guitar will not experi
ence temperature or humidity extremes.
