Using your D'Angelico Premier Bowery LS acoustic guitar is straightforward. First, tune it up with the onboard tuner. Just pluck each string and adjust the tuning machines until the tuner shows the correct note. When you play, the slim neck and comfortable body shape will let you move your fingers easily up and down the fretboard. For high - pitched leads and solos, use the deep cutaway to reach the top frets. When you're ready to perform on stage, the onboard preamp will help you get a great sound through the amplifier. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Change the D'Addario EXP - 16 strings regularly to keep the tone fresh. And don't forget to check the tuning machines and hardware occasionally to make sure they're in good working condition.
