Using your D'Angelico Premier DC guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier using a standard instrument cable. You can adjust the tone and volume using the knobs on the guitar. The two pickups give you different sound options, so play around with them to find your favorite tone. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down after each use with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. You should also change the strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play. When tuning, use the Grover 109 Super Rotomatic tuning machines carefully to avoid over - tightening. Always store your guitar in the included gig bag to protect it from scratches and bumps.
