Using this Ibanez electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure it's tuned to the factory setting of 1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E. You can use the D'Addario strings that come with it. If you want to change the sound, play around with the dyna - MIX10 switching system. Flip the mini switch to switch between humbucker and single - coil modes. When using distortion, the Seymour Duncan pickups will keep the sound clear. For maintenance, wipe the guitar body with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. Check the tuning regularly, especially if you change the strings. When changing strings, the Gotoh locking machine heads will save you time. Keep the guitar in a cool, dry place to avoid damage to the wood. And remember, the roasted maple neck is more resistant to changes in temperature and moisture, but it's still good to take care of it.
