Using your GM - 70+ mandolin is easy. First, tune it to GDAE using the Grover tuning machine - heads. The strings are of gauge .040w, .026w, .016, .011 (doubled). When you play, the solid spruce top and maple body will give you a great sound. If you've added the LR Baggs pickup, connect it to your amplifier for amplified sound. As for maintenance, keep your mandolin in a dry place. You can use a soft cloth to clean the body regularly, especially after playing. If you're not using it for a long time, it's a good idea to loosen the strings a bit to reduce stress on the neck. And if you have the optional HDM case, use it to protect your mandolin when traveling. Also, be careful when adjusting the two - way adjustable truss rod; if you're not sure, it's best to consult a professional.
