Using this Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier. You can use the 5 - way blade switch to change the tone according to your needs. If you want a soft, smooth sound, choose the neck pickup position. For a louder, more aggressive sound, go for the bridge pickup. When it comes to tuning, use the ClassicGear™ tuners. Just turn them slowly until you get the right pitch. To keep your guitar in good shape, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and the hardware. Also, change the strings regularly. The Fender® USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings recommended for this guitar usually need to be replaced every few months depending on how often you play. If you notice any loose parts or problems with the tremolo, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
