Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. Just tune it up using the Charvel - branded die - cast locking tuning machines, and you're ready to play. When you're strumming, the Duncan Designed pickups will give you a great sound. For note - bending, the speed neck with rolled fingerboard edges makes it smooth. Be careful when you're carrying it. Always use a good guitar case to protect it from bumps and scratches. To keep it in top shape, wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dust. Once in a while, check the strings' tightness and replace them when they start to wear out. And don't forget to adjust the bridge if the intonation seems off.
