Using your Fender Japan Hybrid II HSH Stratocaster is easy. First, make sure your guitar is in tune using the vintage - style locking tuners. You can adjust the strings' pitch to your desired note. When playing, the smooth satin - finished 'C' shaped neck provides a comfortable grip, and the narrow - tall frets allow for easy finger movement. The two - point tremolo system gives you the ability to add vibrato to your playing. For different sounds, switch between the Hybrid II Custom Voiced pickups. The humbuckers offer a rich, powerful tone, while the single - coil gives a bright, clear sound. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in the gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. Every few months, check the tuning machines and bridge for any loose parts and tighten them if necessary. Also, you can use a guitar polish to keep the body's gloss polyester finish looking great.
