Using your Cort Gold A6 acoustic guitar is easy. First, make sure it's in tune using the deluxe vintage gold tuning machines. Then, you can start strumming or fingerpicking the D'Addario EXP16 Light strings. The Fishman Flex Blend system allows you to get the best sound whether you're playing at home or on stage. When not in use, keep it in the deluxe soft - side case to protect it from dust and scratches. For maintenance, wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep the high - tech UV finish looking good. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood, especially the Sitka Spruce top and Bocote sides and back. Check the frets and strings periodically for any signs of wear and replace them if needed.
