Using your Cort Sunset Nylectric II Classical Guitar is a breeze. First, tune the guitar using the classical - style tuning machines to get the right pitch. When you're ready to play, hold the guitar as you would a regular classical guitar. The Fishman electronics allow you to plug it into an amplifier for a louder sound. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dust. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to wear out. When transporting the guitar, use the included gig bag to protect it from scratches and bumps. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and electronics.
