Using your Cutlass RS electric guitar is easy. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier and start strumming or soloing. When you're done playing, always unplug the guitar from the amplifier to avoid any electrical issues. For maintenance, wipe down the body with a soft cloth after each use to keep the high - gloss polyester finish looking great. The stainless - steel frets are durable, but you can use a fret cleaner occasionally to keep them in top shape. Check the strings regularly for wear and tear, and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, keep the guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and potential damage.
