Using your Fender Custom Shop Yuriy Shishkov Stratocaster is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the vintage - style tuners. The pickups give you different tones, so play around with them to find your favorite sound. When you're done playing, put it in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean by wiping it down regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the body and fretboard. If you need to change the strings, use the right tools and follow the standard string - changing procedure. And don't forget to keep your certificate of authenticity in a safe place, as it proves your guitar's authenticity.
