Using this Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature Electric Guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into an amplifier, and you're ready to start making music. When playing, be gentle with the strings and the locking tremolo bridge to avoid any unwanted pitch changes. For maintenance, clean the fretboard regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt and sweat. You can also use a guitar polish on the body to keep it looking shiny. Store the guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust. And don't forget to change the strings every few months for the best sound quality.
