Using your Cort G280 - SELECT - TCP electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the Cort® Staggered Locking Tuners. Plug in your guitar to an amplifier and start playing. You can adjust the tone and volume using the controls on the guitar. For different sounds, switch between the pickups. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean by wiping it with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood and affect the tuning. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. If you notice any loose parts, have them tightened by a professional. With proper care, your guitar will last you a long time and keep delivering great music.
