Using your Fender Paramount PM - 180E mandolin is easy. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the open - gear tuners with pearloid buttons. If you're playing acoustically, just strum or pick the strings gently. When you want to plug in, connect the Fishman® pickup to your amplifier. Remember to adjust the amplifier settings to get the best sound. As for maintenance, keep the mandolin in its gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Check the truss rod periodically to ensure the neck is in good shape. Also, avoid exposing the mandolin to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood. With proper care, your mandolin will serve you well for a long time.
