Using this guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier using the included vintage - style cable. When you're tuning, use the 6 - in - line American Vintage tuning machines for precise adjustments. For playing, the custom - wound bare knuckle pickups will give you the unique sound that Johnny Marr is known for. When not in use, keep it in the hardshell case to protect it from damage. Make sure to wipe the guitar down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to keep the gloss lacquer finish looking great. If you notice the strings are getting dull or losing their tone, replace them with Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel strings of the same gauge. Also, check the bridge and saddles regularly to ensure they're in good condition and properly adjusted.
