Using your Washburn NOVO S9 acoustic guitar is easy. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the die - cast black tuners. Sit or stand in a comfortable position and hold the guitar with the Studio body design fitting nicely against you. Start strumming gently to get a feel for the rich sound it produces. When not in use, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity as this can damage the wood, especially the Spruce top and Walnut back and sides. Clean the guitar regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe the strings after each use to prevent dirt and sweat buildup. If you notice any issues with the tuning or the instrument in general, take it to a professional guitar technician for servicing.
