Using your Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 1963 Stratocaster Relic Electric Guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, tune it up using the vintage - style tuners, and start playing. When you're done, put it back in the deluxe hardshell case to keep it safe. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and temperature - controlled environment. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to keep the Journeyman Relic® Lacquer Finish looking great. If you need to adjust the bridge or the pickups, it's best to consult a professional guitar technician. Also, don't forget to check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to wear out. And always carry the certificate of authenticity with you to prove the guitar's genuineness.
