Using your Fender Player HSH Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune it up using the standard cast/sealed tuning machines. You can play different styles of music by adjusting the pickups. The neck and bridge have Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking pickups, and the middle has a Player Series Alnico 5 Strat Single - Coil pickup. For a warmer sound, use the neck pickup, and for a brighter tone, try the bridge one. When playing, you can use the 2 - point synchronized tremolo bridge to add some vibrato to your notes.
As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and cool place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull or look worn out. The Fender USA NPS strings in.009 - 0.042 gauges are recommended. If you notice any issues with the hardware, like the tuning machines or the bridge, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician for repair. Enjoy making great music with your Fender!
