Using your Fender Japan Junior Collection Stratocaster Electric Guitar is easy. First, take it out of the gig bag gently. Plug it into an amplifier using a suitable cable. Start by strumming some simple chords. The shorter 24 - inch scale makes it easier to reach different frets. When you're done playing, put it back in the gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep the guitar in a dry and cool place to prevent the wood from warping. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to maintain their tone. If you need to adjust the tuning, use the vintage - style tuning machines carefully. Don't over - tighten the strings as it can damage the guitar. Check the bridge and pickups periodically to make sure they are in good condition.
