Using your Fender CC - 140SCE is a breeze. First, take it out of the hardshell case gently. Plug it into an amplifier using the Fishman® CD Preamp if you're playing in a larger space. The 'Easy - to - Play' neck makes it easy to form chords and play riffs. When it comes to tuning, use the chrome die - cast tuning machines. Make sure to keep the guitar in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings slightly to relieve stress on the neck. Also, check the fretboard and body regularly for any signs of damage or wear.
