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 THE MASTER CONTROL KNOB MCK BASIC OPERATIONSall strings in tune = all LEDs flash blue 3 times PRECAUTIONS Page Page E major Tuning 30 GUIDE TO FUNCTIONS AND DISPLAY MODES DURING TUNING OPERATIONSRegular Tuning FunctionMCK Position DADGAD TuningFunction Display LEDsFunction E Flat TuningD Tuning MCK PositionAction Reference TuningFunction RemarksAction Custom Altered TuningFunction Remarksswitching from String Up ModeMode by pressing Down Mode byit could damage its connector TO RESTRING YOUR ROBOT GUITARTO ACTIVATE STRING UP MODE FOR A SINGLE STRING as in the case of replacing a string broken while playingMCK Position 38 INTONATION MODE ONLY GIBSON MODELSFunction Display LEDsAction FunctionDisplay LEDs MCK PositionAction FunctionMCK Position RemarksPLEASE NOTE Function 42 SETUP MODEEnter Setup MCK PositionYour Setup Mode Exit SetupMode without FunctionEnter Setup Mode and 44 FUNCTIONS INCLUDED IN SETUP MODERestore FunctionDisplay LEDs FunctionMCK Position ActionPreset Tuning 46 FUNCTIONS INCLUDED IN SETUP MODELast Tuning FunctionAction SettingsFunction RemarksMCK Position 48 FUNCTIONS INCLUDED IN SETUP MODEFunction Display LEDsCALIBRATING POWERHEADS MANUAL CALIBRATION OF POWERHEADSCHARGING AND BATTERY INFORMATION BATTERY LEVELMCK Position Charge ModeFunction Display LEDsEMERGENCY CHARGE MODE AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF MODESHORT CIRCUIT WARNING A LIFETIME OF MUSIC Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Nashville, TN 309 Plus Park Boulevard1.800.4GIBSON
