INTRODUCTION

SAFETY WARNING
- Do not use in extremely hot locations (such as direct sunlight or heated equipment), locations subject to rain, moisture, humidity, wind, or vibration, or very dusty locations.
- Do not put your face near the guitar while playing. A broken string could cause injury if it comes loose.
- When using a strap (not included with the Carry-on Mini Acoustic Guitar purchase), make sure the strap is securely fastened to the Carry-on Mini Acoustic Guitar.
- Do not swing or spin the guitar. If you swing the guitar or spin it around your body, the strap could become disconnected or the guitar could strike other people or objects, causing an accident or injury.
- A guitar string can be very sharp when it is cut and could cause injury if it is touched directly. When wiping the guitar head with a cloth, take particular care not to strike your hand against the wound strings as this could cause injury.
- When replacing the strings, cut the strings short enough so that the leftover portion of the strings does not strike your fingers.
STORAGE
- The Carry-on Mini Acoustic Guitar is made largely of wood. Avoid environments with extremely low or high temperatures, humidity, or drastic environmental changes. These could cause the guitar to deform or crack.
- Be aware of high temperatures. Do not leave the Carry-on Mini Acoustic Guitar for a prolonged period in a hot environment. Painted surfaces are particularly subject to discoloration when exposed to direct sunlight.
- Avoid placing the Carry-on Mini Acoustic Guitar near flames, and store it in a stable, sturdy location where it will not tip or fall.
- If the surface of the guitar is placed directly on plastics or furniture for a prolonged period, color transfer or adhesion could occur. To avoid this, put the Carry-on Mini Acoustic Guitar in a case or bag when storing it.
CLEANING
- Appropriate cleaning is an important way to ensure that your guitar will remain in good condition for as long as possible.
- Humidity, perspiration, and finger oils (fingerprints) that remain on the strings or metal parts will cause rust or corrosion. Use a specially-made guitar wiping cloth to wipe down your instrument immediately after playing.
- Guitars with a gloss finish should be lightly wiped using a guitar wiping cloth treated with polish formulated specially for guitars, or using a soft cotton cloth. Polyester cloths can scratch the finish.
ADJUSTING THE NECK AND SADDLE
