Using your Cort Earth Pack acoustic guitar is a breeze. First, take it out of the gig bag carefully. Use the electronic tuner to tune the D'Addario EXP16 steel strings. Once tuned, grab one of the picks included in the pack and start strumming. Remember to hold the guitar comfortably with the dreadnought body resting on your thigh. When not in use, keep it in the gig bag to protect it from dust and minor bumps. Wipe the guitar down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to keep it clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity as this can damage the spruce top and mahogany body. Every few months, check the tuning pegs and other hardware to make sure they're tight. If you notice any issues with the fretboard or the sound, it might be time to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
