You can adjust the 5 - way blade switch to get different tones that suit your music style. Whether you want a clean sound for a ballad or a more aggressive one for a rock song, this switch has got you covered. When you're playing, the smooth neck and fingerboard will make it easy to move your fingers around. For the tremolo, use it sparingly at first to get the hang of it. It can add a cool vibrato effect to your playing. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any sweat or dirt. Check the strings regularly. If they start to sound dull or feel rough, it's time to replace them with Fender® USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings. Store your guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. And remember, if you're not sure about anything, you can always consult a professional guitar technician.
