Using this Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Super Sport electric guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Schaller locking tuners. You can easily adjust the tone and volume with the dedicated controls. The 5 - way switch lets you explore different pickup combinations. When you play, hold the guitar comfortably by the neck, which has an asymmetric shape designed for your comfort. As for the tremolo, if you've chosen the vintage one, use it carefully to add vibrato to your playing. Here are some important notes. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the finish and the wood. When you're done playing, always put it in a guitar case to protect it from scratches. For maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. You can also use a guitar polish on the body to keep the high - gloss finish looking great. And check the tuning pegs regularly to make sure they're working smoothly.
