Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Charvel - branded die - cast tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier, and you're ready to start playing. When you're playing, the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double - locking tremolo bridge allows you to create cool vibrato effects. For cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe the body and fretboard regularly. Make sure to keep it in a stable environment, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to avoid putting too much stress on the neck. Also, change the nickel - plated steel strings every few months for the best sound quality.
