Using your Ernie Ball Music Man Steve Lukather L4 SSS Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines. Then, select your desired pickup combination with the 5 - way switch. You can also adjust the 12db boost to add some extra power to your sound. When playing, the double - cut contoured body gives you great access to the higher frets. Be careful when using the Music Man vintage floating tremolo. Don't over - bend the strings as it might throw the guitar out of tune. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place. Wipe it down with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. If you notice the strings are getting dull or rusty, replace them with RPS 9 Slinkys #2239. Also, check the frets regularly for any signs of wear.
