Using your Fender FA - 15 guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the die - cast tuning machines. When you start playing, hold the guitar comfortably with the nato neck offering a great grip. You can use the Fender® Dura - Tone® strings to create different sounds. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in the provided gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to maintain the satin polyester finish. Be careful not to expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the laminated agathis and sapele materials. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to lose their tone.
