Using the Fender CC - 60S is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the die - cast tuning machines. You can hold it comfortably in various positions because of its compact concert - sized body. For a great sound, try fingerpicking as it suits the guitar's articulate voice well. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and stable environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity as they can damage the wood. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding good. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 strings with the correct gauges (.012-.052). Also, check the tuning periodically, especially if you've been playing for a while or moving the guitar around a lot.
