Using your Fender FSR Sonoran Mini Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure it's tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines with aged white plastic buttons. The strings, Fender® Dura - Tone® 880L Coated 80/20, are pre - installed, but you can change them when they wear out. When you play, the 'C' shaped neck profile gives you a comfortable grip. The walnut fingerboard and bridge add to the smoothness of your playing. To keep it in top condition, store it in the included gig bag when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood. Clean the body with a soft, dry cloth regularly. And if you're traveling, the compact size makes it easy to take with you.
