Using your Fender FA - 135CE is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the on - board tuner or the sealed gear tuning machines on the headstock. Then, start strumming or fingerpicking to make beautiful music. If you need to amplify your sound, the onboard Fishman® electronics are there for you. Just connect your guitar to an amplifier and use the volume and tone controls to get the sound you want. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure to keep the tuning machines clean and lubricated for accurate tuning. Avoid exposing your guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and electronics.
