Using this Charvel electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure to tune it up using the Charvel - branded die - cast tuning machines. You can use the Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio pickups to get different tones for your playing. If you want to use the Floyd Rose tremolo, do it gently to avoid going out of tune. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the fretboard and strings with a clean cloth after each use. If the strings start to sound dull, it's time to replace them with new nickel - plated steel strings of the same gauge. Also, make sure to store the guitar in a place with stable temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping.
