Using your Guild M - 240E Troubadour guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the Guild GBB1 Butterbean Tuning Machines. If you're new to tuning, use a tuner app on your phone. For playing, it's great for fingerstyle or light strumming. Just place your fingers gently on the strings and start plucking or strumming. When using the DeArmond Tone Boss pickup, adjust the volume control to your preference. You can connect it to any amplifier for a louder sound. Now, for the care part. Keep your guitar in a dry place. Avoid leaving it in a very hot or cold environment, as this can damage the wood. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding good. You can also clean the body of the guitar, but use a cleaner made for guitars. When changing the strings, use the D'Addario XTAPB1253 - Coated Phosphor Bronze Light strings that are recommended. And remember, the case is sold separately, so if you plan to travel with it, get a good quality case to protect your guitar.
