Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. Plug it into your amplifier, adjust the volume control to your desired level, and use the three - way toggle switch to select different pickup combinations for various tones. When tuning, use the Gotoh® tuning machine heads carefully to get the right pitch. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place to prevent the wood from warping. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to maintain good sound quality. After playing, loosen the strings slightly to relieve the tension on the neck. When using the Floyd Rose® Original locking bridge, be careful not to over - adjust it as it can affect the tuning stability. Also, avoid touching the pickups with dirty hands as it may affect their performance.
