Using this guitar is straightforward. First, make sure your strings are properly tuned using the Schaller M6 - IND locking tuning machines. When you play, the ergonomic body design and smooth fretboard will let you move your fingers easily across the frets. For different tones, you can adjust the settings of the Music Man® Custom Wound HT Cory Wong Humbuckers. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to avoid damage to the wood. Wipe the body with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Also, change the strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play. If you're traveling, use a proper guitar case to protect it from bumps and scratches. And remember, the high - gloss polyester finish can be sensitive, so handle it with care.
