Using your Guild A - 20 Bob Marley acoustic guitar is easy. Just sit comfortably and place the guitar on your lap. Tune it using the Guild Vintage 16 Open Gear Tuners. When you're done playing, put it in the included premium Marley X Guild gig bag made from recycled nylon to protect it. Here are some important notes. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can damage the wood. Don't let the strings get too loose or too tight as it might affect the guitar's playability and structure. For maintenance, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding good. Wipe the body and fretboard gently to remove any dirt or fingerprints. You can also apply a small amount of guitar polish on the body every few months to keep it looking great. If you notice any issues like a loose part or a change in the sound, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
