Using this Fender Japan Traditional II 60s Stratocaster is a breeze. Just plug it into an amplifier, tune the strings with the vintage - style tuning machines, and you're ready to play. When you play, the 6 - saddle - style vintage Synchronized Tremolo bridge allows you to add vibrato effects easily. The pick - ups give a great vintage tone, so adjust the volume and tone knobs to get the sound you like. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in the 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 rust. You can also clean the fretboard and body with appropriate guitar cleaning products regularly. Make sure to store the guitar in a place with stable temperature and humidity to avoid warping. And don't forget to check the tuning and fret condition regularly for the best performance.
