Using this Fender Japan Hybrid II Stratocaster HSS guitar is a breeze. First, take it out of the gig bag gently. Tune it up using the vintage - style locking tuners for accurate pitch. When you play, the smooth satin - finished neck and narrow - tall frets make it easy to move your fingers around. The two - point tremolo system can add a cool vibrato effect to your playing. For different tones, switch between the Hybrid II Custom Voiced pickups. If you want a punchy sound, use the Humbucking pickup. For a crisp tone, the Single Coil pickups are great. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Every few months, check the tuning machines and bridge for any loose parts and tighten them if needed. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the finish and the internal components.
