Using your Epiphone Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard guitar is easy. First, plug it into an amplifier using the output jack. Adjust the 2 volume and 2 tone controls to get the sound you like. The Switchcraft® selector switch lets you choose between the neck and bridge pickups. When not in use, keep it in the hardshell case to protect it from damage. For maintenance, wipe the body and strings regularly with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and electronics. If you need to change the strings, use the Epiphone Deluxe vintage tuners to tune them up properly. Also, check the nut and bridge periodically to make sure they're in good condition.
