Using the Fender CD - 60S is a breeze. First, tune the guitar using the chrome die - cast tuning machines until you get the right pitch. You can start strumming simple chords right away, whether you're just learning or an experienced player. When you're done playing, it's best to keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this can damage the wood. Regularly clean the strings with a soft cloth to keep them in good condition. And every few months, check the fretboard for any signs of wear and tear. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck.
