Preventing Electrical Accidents
• If the instrument must be used outdoors in bad weather, or in a place with
high humidity, please use caution. Please read the Owner’s Manuals that
came with the devices, such as power amplifiers, etc., that you connect
your guitar to.
Accidents such as fire or electric shock can occur due to lightning strikes.
Store the Instrument Properly
• Do not keep the instrument close to a fire or flame, and keep it on a low,
stable surface.
The instrument can catch fire, and earthquakes can cause it to fall if
stored in a high location.
• Do not leave the instrument leaning against the wall, etc., in the vicinity of
children.
The instrument may be bumped causing it to fall over resulting in injury.
• If the instrument is not going to be used for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries and keep the instrument in a place other than those
listed below.
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to extremely high or low temperatures.
• Locations subject to high humidity, dust, or vibration.
• During the summer season, temperatures inside of a -car can become ex-
tremely hot. Do not leave the instrument inside of a car.
Be Careful When Handling and Other Cautions
• The guitar has been properly adjusted before being shipped from the facto-
ry. In the event adjustment is necessary, contact the dealer from whom you
purchased the instrument, if possible, as special skills may be required.
For those adjustments that can be performed by the owner, please closely
follow the instructions given in the Owner’s Manual for the procedure.
• When playing the instrument, pay attention to the volume level. Especially
late at night, take neighbors and those who are close by into consider-
ation.
• Broken guitar necks are mostly the result of accidents such as dropping
the guitar, the guitar falling over, or from shocks occurred during transport.
When the guitar is not being used, make sure it is kept on a sturdy stand
where it won’t fall over, or place it in its case.
• Do not treat the instrument in a rough manner like throwing objects at the
instrument, dropping the instrument, etc. And do not put excessive force
on the switches or control knobs, etc.
Doing so can result in damage.
• When connecting or disconnecting the cable, make sure the guitar ampli-
fier’s power is switched OFF, or the amplifier’s volume is turned all the way
down.
Not doing so can shorten the life of the guitar amplifier.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Also, do not spray in-
secticides close to the instrument.
Doing so can damage the guitar’s finish.
