Using Your Ibanez AZES31 - AOC Electric Guitar:
First, make sure your guitar is in the right tuning. You can use a tuner to set it to the factory tuning of 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E. When you play, the medium frets will help you play accurate notes. The 25 - inch scale makes it easy to hold and play, especially if you're a child or have a small stature.
The dyna - MIX8 switching system is really cool. Just flick the mini switch to get eight different sound variations and switch between humbucker and single - coil modes.
Note that when you change strings, the split - shaft on the Ibanez machineheads makes it super easy. Also, be gentle with the Mono - unit output jack. Although it's durable, avoid unnecessary pulling or twisting to prevent connection issues.
Maintenance Tips:
Keep your guitar clean. Use a soft cloth to wipe the body, fretboard, and strings after each use. The Poplar body and Jatoba fretboard can last a long time with proper care. If the strings start to sound dull or feel rough, it's time to replace them. You can use D'Addario® EXL110 strings like the ones that come with the guitar. Check the screws on the F106 bridge regularly to make sure they're tight, but don't over - tighten them. This will help keep your guitar in great shape and sounding amazing for years to come.
