Using your Fender Player HSS Plus Top Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune it up using the standard cast/sealed tuning machines. You can plug it into an amplifier to start making music right away. When playing, you can switch between the single - coil pickups at the neck and middle for a bright, twangy sound, and use the humbucking pickup at the bridge for a thicker, more powerful tone. Remember to keep your guitar away from extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood and affect the tuning. After each use, wipe down the strings with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Once in a while, you can clean the fretboard with a specialized fretboard cleaner. If you need to change the strings, use Fender® USA NPS strings with the recommended gauge of.009 -.042. With proper care, your guitar will last for a long time and keep sounding great.
