Using your Cort AF510 Natural Concert Acoustic Guitar is easy. First, tune the guitar using the die - cast tuners until you get the right pitch. For best results, use fingerpicking techniques as the concert body size is well - suited for this style of playing. When you're done playing, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity as this can damage the wood. Regularly check the coated strings for wear. Once they start to sound dull or show signs of fraying, it's time to replace them. Also, you can clean the fretboard with a soft cloth to keep it in good condition. Enjoy making music with your Cort AF510!
