Tips

To keep your ST80MA BK playing its best, regularly clean the fretboard with a soft cloth and change strings every few months or when they lose brightness. The tremolo bridge can be adjusted for your preferred tension—experiment with the spring claw in the back cavity to find the right balance. For a classic rock sound, try the bridge pickup with a touch of overdrive; for bluesy warmth, roll off the tone knob on the neck pickup.
