Using your Fender CD - 60S All - Mahogany acoustic guitar is easy. First, make sure it's in tune using the chrome die - cast tuning machines. Sit comfortably, hold the guitar with the body on your lap and the neck at a slight angle. Use your fingers or a pick to strum or pluck the strings. When you're done playing, keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding great. Check the tuning pegs from time to time to ensure they're tight and working properly. If you need to change the strings, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® Coated 80/20 Bronze strings of the same gauge (.012 -.052). This will help maintain the guitar's great tone.
