Using your Fender Japan Traditional II 70s Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. Plug the guitar into an amplifier to start playing your favorite tunes. When you're done, always store it in the included gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. To keep it in good condition, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Occasionally, check the bridge and tuning machines for any loose parts. If you need to adjust the action or intonation, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
