Using your Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS is easy. First, tune it up using the Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines. Make sure the strings are at the right tension for your playing style. When you're ready to play, use the 5 - way blade switch to choose different tones. You can get a soft sound from the neck pickup for ballads or a louder, more aggressive sound from the bridge pickup for rock. The 2 - point tremolo allows you to add some cool vibrato effects. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down after each use to remove dirt and sweat. You can use a soft cloth for the body and a fret cleaner for the fingerboard. Change the strings regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play. And don't forget to check the tuning stability often, especially if you use the tremolo a lot.
