Using the Fender FSR Sonoran Mini Acoustic Guitar is straightforward. First, make sure it's in tune using the vintage - style tuning machines. When you play, rest the guitar on your lap or use a guitar stand. Hold the neck in a comfortable 'C' shape position and strum the strings gently. If you're a beginner, start with simple chords. When not in use, keep it in the provided gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth regularly to maintain its satin finish. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood. Check the strings periodically and replace them when they start to sound dull. With proper care, your Sonoran Mini will serve you well for years.
