Using your Fender MIJ Limited Stratocaster XII is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. You can adjust the sound by playing around with the three single - coil pickups.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any sweat or dirt. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to replace them. You can also occasionally polish the hardware to keep it looking shiny.
Be careful when transporting the guitar. Use the included gig bag to protect it from scratches and bumps. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and affect the sound quality.
