Using this guitar case is easy. Just open the fiberglass - reinforced nylon trigger release latching system, place your guitar inside gently, making sure the full - length neck support holds the neck in place. The rigid EPS foam interior will keep the guitar secure. You can store small guitar accessories in the accessory compartment. When carrying, grab the indestructible cushioned rubber - overmolded handle. For air travel, the Travel Sentry® Approved locking latches allow TSA to inspect without damage. As for maintenance, keep the case clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects. Check the latching system and handle regularly for any signs of wear. If there are small scratches on the exterior, you can use a mild cleaner to make it look better.
