Using your Fender FA - 135CE guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the sealed - gear die - cast tuners. The onboard tuner on the Fishman® electronics can help you get accurate tuning quickly. When you're ready to play, the 'C' - shape neck and smooth walnut fingerboard will make it comfortable to move your fingers across the frets. For amplification, just use the volume and tone controls on the electronics to get the sound you want for your performance or practice. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place to prevent damage to the laminated body. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. If you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to reduce stress on the neck. And don't forget to change the strings regularly for the best sound quality.
