Using your D'Angelico Premier Bowery LS guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the onboard tuner. You can play it acoustically or plug it into an amplifier using the onboard preamp for on - stage performances. When playing, take advantage of the deep cutaway to reach the higher frets for those cool solos. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a stable environment with moderate temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings down after each use to keep them in good condition. When not in use, store it in a guitar case to protect it from dust and potential damage. If you notice any issues with the tuning machines or other hardware, have them checked by a professional guitar technician.
