Using this guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. When you're changing pickups, you won't notice any annoying delays thanks to the advanced switching system. For the best sound, keep the strings in good condition. You can clean the fretboard with a soft cloth every few weeks to prevent dirt buildup. When it comes to the body, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity. If you need to change the strings, make sure to use the recommended gauges (RPS 10 Slinkys #2240, 10p - 13p - 17p - 26 - 36 - 46). And don't forget to tune your guitar regularly using the Schaller M6 - IND Locking tuning machines. With proper care, this guitar will serve you well for a long time.
