Using your Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines. You can plug it into an amplifier and start strumming or picking. Use the 5 - way blade switch to change the pickup combination and get different tones for different styles of music. When you want to add some vibrato, use the 2 - point tremolo. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and clean 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. Be careful when adjusting the bridge and pickups, as improper adjustment can affect the sound and playability of the guitar.
