Using your Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is properly tuned using the Charvel - branded sealed die - cast locking tuners. You can switch between different tones using the three - way blade pickup switch, two - way mini toggle, and the tone control with push/pull activation. Experiment with these controls to find your favorite sound. When you're done playing, always use a soft cloth to wipe off any sweat or dirt from the body, neck, and strings. This helps prevent corrosion and keeps the guitar looking good. Store the guitar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For the best performance, change the nickel - plated steel strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play. If you need to adjust the neck relief, use the heel - mount truss rod adjust thumbwheel carefully. And don't forget to check the intonation on the Charvel® HT6 string - through - body hardtail bridge from time to time to ensure accurate tuning across all frets.
