Using the Fender PR-180E resonator guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the open-back tuners. You can play it in different styles, like fingerstyle for a warm and clear sound or use a slide for that Delta Blues feel. When you want to amplify the sound, the Fishman® Nashville pickup system will give you an accurate representation of its natural acoustic voice. As for maintenance, keep it in the hardshell case when not in use to protect it from damage. Wipe the strings and body regularly with a clean, dry cloth. Check the tuning machines and bridge periodically to make sure they're in good condition. And don't forget to change the Fender® 60L Phosphor Bronze strings when they start to lose their tone. With proper care, your PR-180E will serve you well for a long time.
