Using this Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines. Make sure it's in the right key before you start playing. You can use the 5 - way blade switch to change the sound according to your preference. If you want a softer, warmer tone, go for the neck pickup. For a more aggressive sound, choose the bridge pickup. When you're done playing, always put your guitar in a case to protect it from dust and damage. Keep it in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to maintain their sound quality. You can also occasionally polish the body to keep its gloss. And don't forget to check the tuning machines and tremolo system from time to time to ensure they're working properly.
