Using this Gibson 80's Explorer Electric Guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier using the 1/4' output jack. You can adjust the sound using the 2 volume knobs and the master tone control. The 3 - way toggle pickup selector lets you switch between different pickup combinations for various tones. When not in use, keep it in the included hardshell case to protect it from scratches and damage. For maintenance, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding good. Wipe down the body and neck to remove fingerprints and dust. You can also adjust the truss rod if needed to keep the neck in proper shape, but if you're not sure, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
