Using your Cort G250SE - BK electric guitar is easy. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the die - cast tuners. Plug it into an amplifier and start playing around with the different pickups to find the sound you like. The humbucker at the bridge gives a powerful, thick sound, while the single - coil pickups in the middle and neck offer a brighter, more twangy tone. When you're done playing, unplug the guitar from the amplifier and store it in a guitar case or on a guitar stand. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and the electronics. To maintain your guitar, wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can also use a guitar polish on the body to keep it looking shiny. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull or feel rough. With proper care, your Cort G250SE - BK will serve you well for years.
