Using this Fender electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure you've tuned it up using the Fender Vintage 'F' stamped tuning machines. When you're ready to play, strum those nickel - plated steel strings and let the vintage - style single - coil pickups do their magic. The 6 - saddle vintage - style synchronized tremolo bridge allows you to add cool effects to your playing. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place when not in use. You can use a soft cloth to clean the body's gloss polyester finish regularly. Check the strings often and replace them when they start to sound dull. And don't forget to keep the gig bag clean too. When transporting the guitar, use the gig bag to protect it from bumps and scratches.
