Using your Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Stratocaster is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is in tune using the vintage - style tuners. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. You can experiment with the different pickups to get various sounds. When not in use, always keep it in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it from damage. Clean the fretboard regularly with a soft cloth to prevent dirt buildup. Also, check the strings often and replace them when they start to sound dull. With proper care, your guitar will serve you well for years to come.
