Guitar neck adjustment
I want to thank Li Yanliang.

Explain the four steps of piano tuning with easy-to-understand words;

Don't play in a hurry after buying an electric guitar, because there is a very important adjustment before you start playing the piano, which is very important for your future performance.

This is an extremely necessary and indispensable link.

Step 1: Adjust the neck

The neck of the piano easily changes with the change of humidity and temperature. Some people don't play the guitar for a long time, and if they don't loosen their strings, they will see the bow of the neck of the piano rise. At this time, there is no way to tune it, which leads to the scrapping of the guitar. Therefore, tuning the piano is the first step for you to buy back your guitar, and it is also a step you will often do in the future. first

You should hold down the 1 fret and the last fret of the 6 strings with two index fingers, and then observe the distance between the fret and fret from the 5th fret to the 7th fret on the fingerboard side. The standard is between 0.5 and 1mm, if it is close.

It means the neck is bent back. At this point, the neck reinforcement should be twisted counterclockwise, moderately relaxed, so that the neck can recover forward. If the distance from the neck to the piano is greater than 1mm, the neck is bent forward. At this time, twist the steel bar clockwise to tighten it, and adjust the neck backwards. Irregular neck sometimes has a serious beating phenomenon, which requires you to make minor adjustments to achieve a compromise between the two.

Step 2: Adjust the pitch by 8 degrees.

After many guitars are bought home, the pitch of 8 degrees between the piano level and 12 level is not very accurate, so you need to adjust it to make it sound correct. First, tune each string to the standard tone with a tuner. Then, you should start with the 1 string, play the empty string first and then play the 8-degree note of 12 to see if it is the same as the pitch displayed on the tuner. If the pitch is different or not so accurate, you need to adjust the position of the bridge. Generally speaking, if the pitch is higher than the standard pitch, you must let the bridge stand back until the pitch is completely correct. If it is lower than the standard tone, let the bridge move forward until it reaches the standard tone, so that each string is tuned once and the pitch is adjusted by 8 degrees.

Step 3: Adjust the height of the rope.

Different people like the different distance between the guitar string and the fingerboard, which fully reflects their personal playing style. My suggestion is that the strings should be as close as possible to the character of the guitar, so that the sound can be played effortlessly. Please note that the ideal distance between character strings and characters on 12 product is 2mm/

1 string and1.5mm. Of course, generally speaking, it is difficult for you to buy such an ideal piano, so you should adjust their distance on the principle of not playing.

Step 4: Adjust the height of the pickup truck.

The sound of an electric guitar depends on the pickup, because it will sense the vibration of the strings to generate an electrical signal, and then it can finally make a sound through the amplifier. So the closer he is to the strings, the greater the signal output and the better the sound of the guitar. But the amplitude of strings in different positions is different, especially for electric guitars with cranks. You need to pay attention to the appropriate distance, don't get too close, and avoid the strings touching the pickup. In addition, different pickups output different signal amplitudes. The output power of double coils is relatively large, and the output power of single coil is relatively small. The heights of pickup and strings must be adjusted. You know, some people like to listen to the sound of guitar feedback in pursuit of excitement, and some people are most worried about this feedback. Speaking of it, echo is the killer of guitar speakers. The stronger the signal output, the easier it is to cause echo. Friends who like excitement, you must pay attention, it is best not to burn your guitar speaker.
