2. Position 2 (Bridge & Middle): Combines the bridge humbucker and middle single-coil for a balanced, slightly scooped tone.
3. Pozice 3 (uprostřed): Activates the middle single-coil pickup for a clear, articulate tone, suitable for rhythm and clean sounds.

3.2 Using the Vintage Tremolo

Vínotage tremolo system allows you to bend the pitch of the strings for expressive effects. Gently push down on the tremolo arm to lower the pitch or pull up (if set up for it) to raise it. Use sparingly to maintain tuning stability.

4. Údržba

4.1 Čištění

Regular cleaning helps preserve your guitar's finish and playability. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the body, neck, and strings after each use. For a deeper clean, use guitar-specific cleaning solutions. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

4.2 Výměna strun

Strings should be replaced periodically, depending on how often you play and how quickly they corrode. Old strings can sound dull and affect tuning stability. When replacing strings, change them one at a time to maintain neck tension. Use light gauge electric guitar strings for optimal performance.

4.3 Péče o hmatník

The Sonokeling fretboard may benefit from occasional conditioning to prevent drying and cracking. Use a small amount of lemon oil or a dedicated fretboard conditioner on a cloth, apply it to the fretboard, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess.

4.4 Správné skladování

When not in use, store your guitar in a stable environment, away from extreme temperature changes and humidity fluctuations. A guitar case or gig bag provides protection from dust and physical damage.
