Using your Cort G280 - SELECT - AM electric guitar is easy. First, make sure your guitar is in tune using the Cort® Staggered Locking tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier to start playing. You can adjust the sound using the pickups and the controls on the guitar. For the best sound, experiment with different pickup combinations. When not in use, store your guitar in a dry and cool place to prevent damage. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to keep them clean and extend their lifespan. Also, check the fretboard regularly and apply a small amount of fretboard oil if it looks dry. Don't expose the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can warp the body or neck. If you need to transport the guitar, use a proper guitar case to protect it from bumps and scratches.
