Using this Fender Custom Shop 1967 Stratocaster is a breeze. Just pick it up, tune it using the vintage - style tuning machines with the Fender logo, and start strumming. When you're done playing, put it back in the FCS Strat/Tele Black Case to protect it. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to avoid any damage to the 2 - piece alder body or the maple fretboard. Wipe it down gently after each use to keep the heavy relic lacquer finish looking great. And remember, since it's a limited - edition item, handle it with care to preserve its collectible value.
