Using your Washburn Apprentice 6 - String Acoustic Guitar is easy. First, make sure it's in tune. You can use a tuner, which you can buy separately or use a tuning app on your phone. Hold the guitar with your left hand on the neck and your right hand near the bridge. If you're strumming, use a pick or your fingers to strum across the strings. For fingerpicking, use your thumb and fingers to pluck individual strings. When not in use, always put it in the hardshell case it comes with. This will protect it from knocks and scratches. Keep it in a dry place, away from extreme heat or cold. If you notice the strings are getting old or out of tune easily, it's time to change them. You can use the same D'Addario EXP - 16 light set phospher bronze strings. To clean the guitar, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish. With proper care, your Washburn Apprentice will serve you well for a long time.
