Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, tune it up using the Charvel® - branded die - cast tuning machines, and start playing. When using the Floyd Rose® double - locking tremolo bridge system, be gentle at first to get used to how it affects the tuning. As for care, keep the guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. You can also use a mild guitar cleaner on the body and fretboard every few months to keep it looking shiny. And don't forget to change the strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play, to maintain good sound quality.
