Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. To tune it, use the Charvel® sealed die - cast locking tuning machines. When playing, enjoy the smooth feel of the ebony fretboard and the great sound from the Seymour Duncan pickups. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to avoid damage to the alder body. Wipe the strings regularly with a clean cloth to prevent rust. If you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck. Also, be careful not to scratch the satin body finish. And that's all you need to know to keep your guitar in top shape and have a great playing experience.
