Using your Fender Custom Shop American Custom Telecaster NOS is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines with white pearl buttons. Then, plug it into an amplifier. You can use the 3 - way switch to change between different pickup combinations and get various tones.
When not in use, always store your guitar in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it from scratches and damage. Keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity.
For maintenance, regularly clean the strings with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. This will help keep the tone clear and bright. You can also occasionally polish the hardware to keep it looking shiny. If you notice any loose parts or if the guitar needs a setup, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
