Using your Fender Newporter Classic Acoustic Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the sealed nickel tuning machines. The Fender - and Fishman® - designed preamp system allows you to plug it into an amplifier easily when you're performing. Whether you're strumming chords or picking melodies, the comfortable 'C' - shaped neck makes it easy to play.
When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust. If you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings to relieve the tension on the neck.
For the strings, replace them when they start to sound dull or lose their brightness. You can use the Fender® Dura - Tone® Coated 80/20 Bronze strings for a great sound. Also, be careful not to scratch the gloss poly finish of the guitar body. Enjoy making music with your Fender Newporter Classic!
