Using this Fender Lincoln Brewster Signature Stratocaster is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, and you're ready to start playing. The push/pull volume control activates the onboard active boost, which can give your sound an extra kick when you need it. The Tone 1 knob controls the custom mid - boost, allowing you to adjust the tone according to your music style. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in its black hardshell case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the body and strings with a soft cloth after each use to keep them clean. The maple fingerboard may need occasional conditioning to prevent it from drying out. And make sure to check the tuning machines regularly to ensure accurate tuning. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can damage the wood and the finish.
