Using your Fender Classic Series wood case is easy. Just open the steel draw latches, place your Stratocaster or Telecaster guitar gently inside, and close the latches. The locking latch with the key set provides extra security if you need it. The accessory compartment is perfect for storing small guitar - related items. When it comes to maintenance, keep the case away from extreme temperatures and moisture. You can clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Check the hardware regularly to make sure all the latches and the carry handle are in good condition. If you notice any issues, have them fixed promptly to keep your guitar safe.
