Using your Washburn Festival EA15 guitar is a breeze. First, if you're playing acoustically, just pick up the guitar and start strumming or fingerpicking. The comfortable mini - jumbo body allows you to hold it easily. When you want to play it electrically, use the pre - installed Barcus - Berry pickup system. Plug the guitar into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Use the volume control on the guitar to adjust the output level. The built - in tuner is very handy. Just turn it on and it will show you if your strings are in tune. Adjust the bass, mid, and treble controls to get the sound you like. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this can damage the wood. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. If the strings start to sound dull or feel rough, it's time to replace them with new D'Addario EXP - 16 light set phospher bronze strings. Periodically check the tuning pegs and the truss rod adjustment to ensure the guitar stays in good playing condition.
