Using this Martin X - Series 12 - String guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the built - in chromatic tuner. Just turn on the electronics and adjust the tuning machines until you get the right pitch. When you're playing, the thinner fingerboard and modern bridge design will make it comfortable to hold and fret. The extra strings give a rich, unique sound, so try different strumming and picking patterns to explore its potential. As for maintenance, keep it in the softshell case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. If you notice the tuning is getting off more quickly than usual, it might be time to change the strings. And remember, since it has electronics, don't expose it to extreme humidity or temperatures as it could affect the performance of the Martin E - 1 electronics.
