Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. Start by tuning it up using the Charvel® - branded die - cast tuning machines. You can strum away right away and enjoy the great tones from the Seymour Duncan pickups. When you want to change the sound, use the volume control with the push/pull coil split or adjust the tone control. The Floyd Rose tremolo bridge is great for adding effects, but be gentle when using it to avoid losing tuning. For regular maintenance, wipe the body with a soft cloth after each use to keep the gloss finish looking good. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. If you need to adjust the neck relief, use the heel - mount truss rod adjust thumbwheel carefully. Keep the guitar in a stable environment to prevent the neck from warping due to temperature and humidity changes.
