If you want to amplify your sound, use the Fishman - Fender PM preamp and adjust the bass, treble, phase, and master volume controls to your liking.
Here are some important things to keep in mind. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood. When not in use, always store it in the included deluxe black hardshell case to protect it from scratches and impacts.
For maintenance, regularly clean the strings with a soft cloth to keep them sounding their best. Wipe down the body of the guitar with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Periodically check the fretboard for any signs of wear and have it serviced by a professional if needed. This will help ensure your guitar stays in top condition for years to come.
