Congratulations
We are pleased that you have selected one of our

of wood and handcrafting them into instruments
that are the ultimate in sound and beauty. Each

challenge. Crafted of the finest woods, Spring Hill
demonstrates the classic beauty, natural acoustic
sound and playability that are unchallenged. As a
result, you are assured of receiving an instrument
of superior quality, lasting beauty and exceptional
playability.
- STRINGING
To fasten a string on the machine head and prevent slipping, follow
the winding directions illustrated:
Winding Direction
Left Side Right Side
Be sureto allow enough slack so the string can wrap around the
peg about three times before proper tuning is achieved. If you can
lift the string about 3 or 4 inches from the fingerboard, at the middle
of the neck when the string is first strung, there should be adequate
slack for proper tightening.
Fresh strings add to the enjoyment and tonal qualities of your
guitar. Change them often using Fender acoustic strings.
TRUSS ROD
Each Fender guitar is carefully adjusted by skilled artisans. The
truss rod and string height are set for optimum action and playabil-
ity.
Under normal tension, the neck should have aslightly concave
curvature. By creating a counteracting force, the truss rod prevents
the neck from bending excessively under the stress placed on it by
the strings. The tension on the rod is adjustable so the correct
curvature can be achieved by regulating the neck's resistance to the
string tension. Your Fender dealer is equipped to adjust the trust
rod in the event such adjustment is required.
CARE OF YOUR GUITAR
After you have finished playing, thoroughly wipe the entire guitar,
including the strings, with a clean, soft cloth. A regular routine for
cleaning your instrument with Fender polish is recommended.
Avoid exposing the guitar to any chemical or substance that
might mar the finish, as well as, to direct sunlight or other sources
of excessive heat humidity or shock.
It is important to avoid sudden changes in temperature since
this causes the wood to expand or contract faster than the finish
which may result in checking. While the condition does not affect
the tone, it does mar the appearance.
When storing the guitar for long periods of time, loosen the
strings - but leave them attached.
