Using your Fender FSR CD - 60S is a breeze. First, tune the guitar using the die - cast tuning machines. Once tuned, you're ready to start strumming or picking. For best results, use the Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L coated strings that come with the guitar. When you're not playing, keep it in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood. To clean the guitar, use a soft, dry cloth. Gently wipe the body, neck, and strings after each use. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to replace them. You can also have the guitar professionally set up every once in a while to ensure optimal playability.
