Using this guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the Charvel - branded die - cast tuning machines. You can start strumming right away. When you play solos, the unique pickups will give you a great sound. For the Floyd Rose double - locking tremolo bridge, use it carefully to avoid string breakage. When not in use, keep the guitar in a cool and dry place. Wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to maintain the gloss finish. Check the strings often and replace them when they start to wear out. And remember, always have fun playing your Charvel Warren DeMartini Signature Pro - Mod Snake guitar.
