Using your Redondo Mini guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can start strumming simple chords right away. When traveling, just place it in the included gig bag. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and strings after each use. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can damage the wood. Check the strings regularly for wear and replace them when they start to sound dull. With proper care, your Redondo Mini will serve you well for years to come.
