Using this gig bag is super easy. Just unzip the bag, place your resonator, 00, or classical guitar inside gently, and then zip it up. When you're carrying it, use the comfortable handles or shoulder strap. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects that could damage the bag. When not in use, store it in a dry and cool place.
