Using this Fender Japan Junior Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. When you start playing, the shorter 24 - inch scale allows you to easily press chords without much effort. Just place your fingers on the frets as you would on a regular guitar. The pickups give a bright tone, so you can adjust the volume and tone controls to get the sound you like. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any sweat or dirt. You can also occasionally polish the body to keep the satin finish looking good. When it comes to the strings, change them regularly as old strings can affect the sound quality. And store your guitar in the included gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and minor bumps. Be careful when using the tremolo bridge, as excessive use might require you to retune the guitar. Overall, with a little care, this guitar will serve you well for a long time.
