Using the Redondo Mini is easy. First, make sure it's in tune using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can play it just like any other guitar, whether you're strumming chords or picking individual notes. When you're done playing, put it in the included gig bag to protect it during transport. As for maintenance, keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the mahogany body. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Every few months, check the frets for any signs of wear and the tuning pegs for smooth operation. If you notice any issues, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician.
