Using this Fender Japan Junior Collection Telecaster is easy. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can then start strumming or picking the strings to play your favorite tunes. The shorter 24 - inch scale makes it more comfortable for your fingers, especially if you're new to playing the guitar. When you're done playing, put it in the included gig bag to protect it. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can also periodically check the tuning stability and the tightness of the bridge saddles. If you notice any issues, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
