Using your Fender California Malibu Classic guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the sealed nickel tuning machines. You can start strumming right away to enjoy its rich sound. For a more amplified sound, connect it to an amplifier using the Fender- & Fishman®-designed pickup/preamp system. When not in use, keep it in the included gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood. To maintain its great look and sound, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth. You can also occasionally polish the body with a guitar polish to keep the gloss poly finish looking shiny. And don't forget to change the strings every few months, especially if you play frequently, to keep the sound fresh and clear.
