Using your Fender Custom Shop Austin MacNutt Stratocaster is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier using a guitar cable. Adjust the volume and tone controls on the guitar to get the sound you like. You can also use the pickups selector switch to choose between different pickup combinations. When you're done playing, always put the guitar back in its deluxe hardshell case to protect it from damage. To keep your guitar in top shape, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt and sweat. You can also use a guitar polish to maintain the body finish. Make sure to store the guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. And don't forget to change the strings every few months for the best sound.
