Using this Cort electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your strings are properly tuned using the Cort locking tuners. Then, plug in your guitar to an amplifier and adjust the volume and tone controls to your liking. When you're done playing, put it in the premium gig - bag to protect it. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Wipe down the strings after each use to prevent corrosion. You can also use a soft cloth to clean the body and fretboard. If you notice any loose parts or issues with the tuning, take it to a professional guitar technician for inspection and repair.
