Using this Chapman ML3 Pro Traditional Electric Guitar is a breeze. Just pick it up, adjust the tuning with the Hipshot Grip - Lock Open tuning machines, and start strumming. When you play, the Seymour Duncan pickups will give you a great sound. Remember to keep your hands clean before playing to avoid getting dirt on the strings and fretboard. For maintenance, wipe the guitar with a soft cloth after each use to keep the finish looking good. Check the string tension regularly and replace the Ernie Ball strings when they start to sound dull. Store the guitar in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the Alder body and maple neck.
