Using your Fender Redondo Mini is easy. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. The guitar is ready to play right out of the gig bag. When you're done playing, put it back in the bag to protect it. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to avoid damage to the spruce top and mahogany body. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. Don't expose the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can affect its sound and structure. Regularly check the tuning pegs and bridge to make sure everything is secure. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings that come with the guitar.
