Using your Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Journeyman Relic Stratocaster is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier and start playing. Adjust the pickups to get the sound you want - the Vintage Noiseless™ pickups give you a clear and rich tone. The blocked tremolo gives you stability, so you don't have to worry about it going out of tune easily. When not in use, keep it in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it from damage. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to keep the finish looking good. And don't forget to change the strings regularly, like the Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel ones that come with it, to maintain the best sound quality.
