Using this Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Relic guitar is a breeze. Just grab the included strap, put it on, and you're ready to start strumming. To change the sound, you can adjust the pickups. The three Hand - Wound Texas Special™ pickups give you different tones for various music styles. When it comes to tuning, use the vintage - style tuning machines. Turn the pegs slowly until you get the right pitch. For storage, always use the deluxe hardshell case that comes with it. This will protect your guitar from scratches and damage. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place. Wipe the fretboard and body with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. And don't forget to change the strings regularly for the best sound quality.
