Using your Fender Custom Shop American Custom Stratocaster is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is properly tuned using the Sperzel® Die - Cast Tuners. Adjust the action (the height of the strings) according to your playing preference. When you're ready to play, strum or pick the strings gently at first to get used to the feel. The 5 - way switch allows you to change the pickup combinations and get different tones. For a brighter sound, use the bridge pickup, and for a warmer tone, try the neck pickup. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in its deluxe hardshell case when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity, and physical damage. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can also clean the fretboard with a suitable cleaner every few months. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this can damage the wood and affect the tuning. And always make sure to handle the guitar with care to keep it in top - notch condition.
