Using your Fender Japan Hybrid II Telecaster is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the vintage - style locking tuning machines. The nickel - plated steel strings are pre - installed, but you can change them when they start to sound dull. When playing, the smooth fretboard and the well - designed pickups will give you a great sound. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and the neck regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish. Store your guitar in the included gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. If you need to adjust the intonation, you can do so using the 3 - saddle vintage - style strings - through - body Tele® with slanted brass barrel saddles. But if you're not sure, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
