Using this Fender guitar case is super easy. Just open the draw latches, place your guitar gently inside on the soft lining, and close the case up. Make sure to lock the locking latch with the provided key if you want extra security. When it comes to storage, keep the case in a dry and cool place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a very humid area, as this could damage the wood and the vinyl. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. If there are any stubborn marks on the vinyl, you can use a mild cleaner. For the interior, just a gentle dusting with a soft brush will do. And don't overfill the accessory compartment, as it might cause the lid to not close properly.
