Using your Fender Montecito ukulele is a breeze. First, tune it up using the sealed tuning machines. Make sure to use standard tenor uke strings for the best sound. When changing strings, the no - tie bridge makes the process quick and easy. To play, place your fingers on the frets and strum the strings gently. For a better sound, adjust the Fender® FE - U01 preamp. As for maintenance, keep your ukulele in the gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to maintain the gloss finish. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the acacia body. Check the intonation periodically by playing different notes and adjusting the bone nut and saddle if needed. With proper care, your Fender Montecito ukulele will last a long time and keep sounding great.
