Using the Cort AD Mini Acoustic Guitar is quite straightforward. First, take it out of the included gig bag gently. Sit in a comfortable position, hold the guitar on your lap, and rest your left hand on the neck to press the strings for different notes and chords. Your right hand can pluck or strum the strings. When not in use, always put it back in the gig bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and bumps. Keep the guitar in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to replace them. You can use a soft cloth to wipe the body and neck of the guitar regularly to keep it clean. This will help maintain its great sound and appearance over time.
