The Special was further distinguished by its yellow-stained “TV” finish Page Page DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION Neck Specifications. Gibson designs its guitar necks to complement and enhance the unique characteristics of each model. Neck profiles can be “rounded ’50s” or “slim ’60s” or a slight V-shape available only on the BluesHawk. Scale length string length is 24 3/4 on the Les Paul, X-Factor and SG models, 25 1/2 on the Chet Atkins, Americana, and Hawk models and 34 on basses Pickup adjustments. Although the pickups on each Les Paul are set to Gibson standards at the factory, they can be adjusted. The height of the pickup can be adjusted by the two screws found at either end of the pickup, in the mounting ring. Individual string volume can be adjust- ed by turning the polepiece screws. Bringing the pickup or pole screw closer to the strings makes the signal stronger or “hotter.” Volume controls The two knobs closest to the fingerboard control the volume of the pickups. The volume knob nearest the bridge controls the “front” or neck pickup the knob nearest the edge of the guitar controls the “back” or bridge pickup Page Page CARE AND MAINTENANCE Rain Water wipes off the instrument’s finish easily, but if allowed to remain, it can cause ugly water spots in the lacquer Avoid sharp blows to any part of your instrument. Be particularly alert to possible blows to the back of the headstock, machine heads tuners, and in the neck heel area. Many headstock breaks are the result of a guitar being knocked over or dropped while it’s still in the case, so do not stand the case on its end Install your strings correctly. Improperly installed strings can slip, which will cause your Gibson to constantly go out of tune. To correctly install strings What brand of strings should be used? Gibson has been offering its own strings since 1907, and Gibson has more experience than any other string maker when it comes to matching strings to Gibson guitars. Gibson strings are manufactured to exacting standards to achieve the highest level of quality and performance NEW TECHNOLOGY - THE GIBSON ROBOT GUITAR BASIC OPERATIONS THE MASTER CONTROL KNOB MCKall strings in tune = all LEDs flash blue 3 times PRECAUTIONS Page Page Regular Tuning 30 GUIDE TO FUNCTIONS AND DISPLAY MODES DURING TUNING OPERATIONSE major Tuning FunctionFunction DADGAD TuningMCK Position Display LEDsD Tuning E Flat TuningFunction MCK PositionFunction Reference TuningAction RemarksFunction Custom Altered TuningAction RemarksMode by pressing String Up Modeswitching from Down Mode byTO RESTRING YOUR ROBOT GUITAR it could damage its connectoras in the case of replacing a string broken while playing TO ACTIVATE STRING UP MODE FOR A SINGLE STRINGFunction 38 INTONATION MODE ONLY GIBSON MODELSMCK Position Display LEDsDisplay LEDs FunctionAction MCK PositionMCK Position FunctionAction RemarksPLEASE NOTE Enter Setup 42 SETUP MODEFunction MCK PositionMode without Exit SetupYour Setup Mode FunctionRestore 44 FUNCTIONS INCLUDED IN SETUP MODEEnter Setup Mode and FunctionMCK Position FunctionDisplay LEDs ActionLast Tuning 46 FUNCTIONS INCLUDED IN SETUP MODEPreset Tuning FunctionFunction SettingsAction RemarksFunction 48 FUNCTIONS INCLUDED IN SETUP MODEMCK Position Display LEDsMANUAL CALIBRATION OF POWERHEADS CALIBRATING POWERHEADSBATTERY LEVEL CHARGING AND BATTERY INFORMATIONFunction Charge ModeMCK Position Display LEDsAUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF MODE EMERGENCY CHARGE MODESHORT CIRCUIT WARNING A LIFETIME OF MUSIC Page Page Page Page Page Page Page 309 Plus Park Boulevard Nashville, TN1.800.4GIBSON
