Using your Fender Japan Traditional II 60s Jazzmaster Electric Guitar is easy. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. Plug the guitar into an amplifier and adjust the volume and tone controls on the guitar to get the sound you like. When playing, the narrow nut width makes it comfortable to fret notes. For the floating tremolo tailpiece, use it gently to add a vibrato effect to your playing. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in the provided gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Check the tuning regularly and adjust if needed. Also, make sure the body and neck of the guitar are clean. If you notice any issues with the pickups or the bridge, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician for repair.
