Using this Cort CPEG10 gig bag is super easy. Just gently place your Cort electric guitar inside the bag, making sure it fits well in the interior space. For storing small items like picks or strings, use the external pocket. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bag in a dry place to prevent the sponge lining from getting damp. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could tear the bag. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and a soft cloth to clean it gently. Also, don't overstuff the external pocket to avoid damaging the bag's structure.
