Using your Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Stratocaster Journeyman Relic is a breeze. First, make sure you've put on the strap using the Dunlop Straplok strap buttons. Then, plug in your guitar to an amplifier. You can use the 5 - way switch to select different pickup combinations and the tone and volume controls to adjust the sound. The Vintage Modified #2 wiring with Tone - Saver Bleed and Greasebucket™ tone circuit gives you great tone options. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in the deluxe hardshell case when not in use to protect it from damage. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the tuning machines regularly to ensure they're working properly. If you notice any issues with the frets or pickups, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician. Also, avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and the finish.
