Using your Epiphone Les Paul 50's Standard Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the Epiphone Vintage Deluxe machine heads. Plug it into an amplifier and start adjusting the 2 - Volume and 2 - Tone controls to get the sound you want. When you're done playing, always store your guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a very humid environment as this can damage the Mahogany body and the Maple cap. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and strings. Don't use any harsh chemicals on the finish. Every few months, you can change the strings for better sound quality. And remember, if you're not sure about any maintenance or usage, it's always a good idea to consult a professional guitar technician.
