Battery drain

My Fly is my first electric guitar that requires a battery, so this may be a dumb question, it's certainly an ignorant one;
Is the battery draining as long as the guitar is plugged in?

Yes. Certainly not a dumb question. Better to ask than waste!

Copy that.
You've just saved yourself from a rude surprise!
Unplugging the cord is very good advice for
any brand of guitar (or bass) which has a battery powered circuit.
I have 9 volt batteries that have lasted for years in several guitars, electric and acoustic-electric.

Unplugging the cord is good practice to prevent tripping and having the guitar fly across the stage. Ask me how I know!
