Using this Fender Custom Shop guitar is a breeze. First, take it out of the deluxe hardshell case carefully. Attach the included strap to the guitar and start strumming. You can adjust the tuning using the vintage - style tuning machines to get the perfect sound. The pickups give you a rich and classic tone, so feel free to experiment with different settings to find your unique sound. When not in use, always put the guitar back in its case to protect it from dust and damage. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood and the finish. Wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to keep the heavy relic lacquer finish looking great. And don't forget to check the frets and strings for wear and tear, and replace them when necessary.
