Owner’s Manual

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha electric-acoustic guitar. In order to make the most of the advanced features and performance provided by your guitar, please read this manual carefully before using the instrument.

PRECAUTIONS

The output jack is an EIAJ-standard 1/4" phone jack. Be sure to use an appropriate connection cable.

The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a plug is inserted into the output jack. When not using the instrument, or when playing it without amplification, be sure to remove the plug from the output jack so that the preamplifier power is turned off.

Always set the VOLUME control to “0” when plugging in or unplugging the connection cable.

The battery check indicator (BATT.) will light briefly when a plug is inserted or removed from the output jack. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Be sure to remove the battery if the instrument will not be used for an extended period of time in order to prevent possible damage due to battery leakage.

USING THE TUNER

The guitar is equipped with an A4=440Hz standard pitch tuner. The tuner’s circuitry is independent from the guitar’s output circuit so switching the tuner ON/OFF will have no affect on sound output.

q Press the TUNER switch. While the tuner activates the and lamps

light alternately.

w Tune the guitar string until the note name of the desired pitch appears in

the tuner’s display. The lamp indicates the pitch is low. The lamp indicates the pitch is high. The pitch indicator ( ) flashes slower as the string’s pitch nears the

note shown in the display.

e The string is in tune when the and lamps both light.

* The tuner will automatically switch OFF approximately two minutes after the

TUNER switch is pressed (energy saving function). To continue tuning, press the TUNER switch again.

* It may take a few seconds before the tuner can detect pitches after being switched

ON.

* The note name and displays may have difficulty keeping up with irregular

pitch changes. Gradually change the pitch and check when tuning.

* The tuner may have difficulty detecting notes rich with overtones or with very

short sustain.
