Using Your Fender Newporter Player Guitar:
- First, make sure your guitar is in tune. You can use a tuning machine or a digital tuner. Just turn the tuning pegs until the strings are at the right pitch.
- To play, place your fingers on the fretboard where you want to make a note. Press down gently but firmly on the strings.
- If you want to play it plugged in, connect it to an amplifier using the Fishman® preamp system. Adjust the settings on the preamp to get the sound you like.
Things to Note:
- Don't expose your guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity. This can damage the wood and affect the sound.
- When you're not using it, put it in a guitar case to protect it from dust and scratches.
Maintenance Tips:
- Wipe down the strings after each use with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the strings in good condition.
- Every few months, you can clean the fretboard with a special fretboard cleaner. Just follow the instructions on the cleaner.
- Check the tuning machines regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you notice any problems, take it to a professional guitar technician.
