Using your Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster is a breeze. First, adjust the tuning machines to get the right pitch. The three pickups give you different sound options, so play around with them to find your favorite tone. When you're done playing, put it back in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it. As for maintenance, keep the guitar clean by wiping it down with a soft cloth after each use. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and hardware. And don't forget to keep the certificate of authenticity in a safe place to maintain its value.
