Using your Cort L710F-NS acoustic guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the die - cast tuning machines with black knobs. The D'Addario EXP16 Light strings are easy to play and produce a great sound. Just strum or pick the strings gently at first to get used to the feel. When you're ready to play with amplified sound, the Fishman Presys preamp will give you a great tone.
As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and moderate - temperature environment. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their playability, it's time to replace them. When not in use, store your guitar in a case to protect it from scratches and bumps. And don't forget to check the tuning regularly, especially if you move it around a lot. Enjoy playing your new Cort guitar!
