Using your Fender MIJ Limited Stratocaster XII Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines to get the perfect pitch. The fully adjustable 12 - saddle hardtail bridge allows you to make precise adjustments to the string height and intonation.
When playing, you can switch between the three vintage - style single - coil pickups to get different tones. The bridge pickup gives a bright and cutting sound, the middle one offers a warm and smooth tone, and the neck pickup provides a rich and mellow sound.
For maintenance, keep your guitar in the gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. You can also occasionally clean the body with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its gloss finish. If you notice the frets getting worn out or the strings breaking frequently, it might be time to replace them. And remember, store your guitar in a place with stable temperature and humidity to avoid any damage to the wood and hardware.
