Using your Washburn C5CE guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the built - in tuner. Just turn on the tuner and adjust the classical tuners until the strings are in the right pitch. When you play, use your fingers to pluck the nylon strings gently. The wider string spacing gives you more room for precise fingerstyle playing. Whether you're into classical or flamenco music, you'll find it very comfortable. For beginners, the low - tension strings are gentle on your fingers, so start slowly and gradually build up your speed and technique. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and stable environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity as they can damage the wood. After playing, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt. You can also polish the gloss finish occasionally to keep it looking great. Every few months, check the tuning pegs and the bridge to make sure they're secure. If you notice any issues with the electronics, like the volume control or the tuner, take it to a professional guitar technician for repair.
