Using your Fender Player II Telecaster is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is in tune using the Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines. When you're ready to play, the 3 - way blade switch allows you to easily change between different pickup sounds. For a warm and smooth tone, use the neck pickup. If you want a more cutting sound, switch to the bridge pickup. When it comes to playing techniques, the smooth neck with its Modern “C” - profile and the 9.5” - radius fingerboard let you move your fingers quickly up and down the fretboard. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down after each use with a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the body and the fretboard. Check the tuning regularly, especially before a performance. And when it's time to change the strings, use Fender® USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings for the best sound.
