Using this guitar is easy. First, tune it up with the Charvel® - branded die - cast locking tuning machines. Once tuned, you're ready to play some awesome riffs. When you're done playing, don't just leave it lying around. Keep it in a guitar case to protect it from dust and scratches. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to maintain their sound quality. Also, make sure to check the tuning periodically, especially if you're transporting the guitar. And remember, if you want to change the pickups in the future, you can do it easily, but it's best to have a professional handle it if you're not experienced.
