Using this Gator case for your parlor guitar is easy. First, gently place your guitar inside the plush - lined interior, making sure it fits snugly. Then, close the case and secure the chrome - plated latches. You can store your guitar accessories like capos, strings, and picks in the spacious interior compartment. When carrying the case, use the reinforced handles for a firm grip. As for maintenance, keep the case clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the case to extreme temperatures or sharp objects that could damage the ABS plastic outer shell. Check the latches and handles regularly to ensure they are in good working condition. If the interior lining gets dirty, you can spot - clean it with a mild detergent and water. Remember to dry it thoroughly before putting your guitar back in the case.
