Using your Fender Japan Junior Collection Telecaster is easy. First, put the guitar on your lap or use a strap. Plug it into an amplifier to hear the great sound from the pickups. When tuning, use the vintage - style tuners to get the right pitch. To play chords, press the strings on the fretboard. The shorter 24 - inch scale makes it easier to reach different notes. Remember to keep the guitar in a safe place, like the included gig bag, when you're not using it. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep the sound clear. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and hardware. If you notice any issues with tuning or the pickups, take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
