Using your Ibanez AZES40PRB electric guitar is a joy. First, make sure it's properly tuned to the factory settings (1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E). You can use the Ibanez machineheads with split - shaft for easy tuning and string changes. If you want different sounds, use the dyna - MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch. Just flick the mini switch to change between humbucker and single - coil modes or try the nine sound variations.
When playing, the 25 - inch scale makes it easy for children and small - statured players. The 250mm fretboard radius and medium frets help you play notes accurately and comfortably. The All Access Neck Joint allows you to reach high frets easily.
For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent damage to the poplar body, maple neck, and jatoba fretboard. Wipe it down after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the Mono - unit output jack regularly to ensure there's no loose connection. The T106 bridge with Comfort round Steel saddles may need occasional adjustment for the best performance. Replace the D'Addario® EXL110 strings when they start to sound dull or show signs of wear.
