Using this Fender guitar is a breeze. First, take it out of the deluxe hardshell case. Put on the included strap so you can play comfortably. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. The Custom Shop hand - wound pickups will give you a great sound right away. When it comes to tuning, use the vintage - style tuning machines with the Fender logo. They're easy to turn and will keep your guitar in tune. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity. These can damage the nitrocellulose lacquer finish on the body and warp the neck. Also, be gentle with the 6 - saddle vintage - style synchronized tremolo bridge. Don't over - use it or you might break the bent steel saddles. For maintenance, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep the sound clear. You can also wipe down the body and fretboard to remove fingerprints and dirt. Every few months, have a professional guitar technician check the guitar for any adjustments that might be needed, like the action of the strings. With proper care, this guitar will last you a long time and keep sounding amazing.
