Using your Cort Yorktown-BV electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the vintage-style tuners. Plug in your guitar to an amplifier and adjust the volume and tone controls to get the sound you like. When playing, the floating bridge with fine-tuning can help you adjust the intonation. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean by wiping it with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood.
