Using this Fender guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, tune it up with the vintage - style tuning machines, and start playing. When using the Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece, move it gently to add a cool vibrato effect to your sound. For maintenance, keep the guitar in its deluxe hardshell case when not in use. Clean the body with a soft cloth regularly to maintain the Relic® Lacquer Finish. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and the finish. Also, check the frets and strings periodically. If the strings start to sound dull or feel rough, it's time to change them. And always keep the included certificate of authenticity in a safe place to prove the guitar's authenticity.
