Using your Fender Japan Traditional II 60s Stratocaster is easy. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. Plug it into your amplifier and you're ready to start playing. Whether you're strumming chords or shredding solos, the guitar's unique design and pickups will give you that great vintage sound. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe the body and fretboard after each use. Keep the guitar in the gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and the electronics. Also, change the strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play. This will keep the sound fresh and the action smooth.
