Odstraňování problémů

Nestabilita ladění

If your guitar frequently goes out of tune, especially after using the tremolo bar, check the string winding on the tuning pegs. Ensure strings are properly stretched. Lubricating the nut and bridge saddles with a graphite-based lubricant can also improve tuning stability. If issues persist, a professional setup may be required.

No Sound or Weak Signal

Ensure your instrument cable is securely connected to both the guitar and your amplifier/interface. Check the volume knob on the guitar and amplifikátor. Pokud používáte an amplifier, verify it is powered on and set to an audible volume. Test with a different cable if possible.
