Using your Cort X500 - Menace Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the die - cast tuning machines for the right pitch. When you start playing, the compound radius fingerboard makes it easy to move your fingers across the frets. Use the FloydRose® 1000 Series tremolo for those cool vibrato effects. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and strings after each use. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and hardware. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure to keep the guitar in its case when not in use to prevent scratches and other damage.
