Using your Charvel electric guitar is a joy. To start, tune your guitar using the Charvel® - branded die - cast locking tuning machines. You can easily adjust the neck relief with the heel - mount truss rod adjust thumbwheel to make sure the strings feel just right. When you play, the scalloped lower back bout and shredder’s cut heel will let you reach the upper frets without any hassle. The multi - voiced Fishman® Fluence® Open Core PRF - COC pickups offer a wide range of tones, so experiment to find your favorite sound. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place. After playing, wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove any sweat or dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or lose their tension. When traveling, use a good quality guitar case to protect it from bumps and knocks. And remember, always be gentle with the hardware and electronics to keep your guitar in top shape for years to come.
