Using this Cort Earth 60 acoustic guitar is a joy. First, make sure to tune it properly using the die - cast tuning machines. You can start strumming simple chords right away to enjoy its warm and balanced tone. When you're done playing, keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent damage to the wood. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. And remember, don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can affect the instrument's sound and structure.
