Using your Fender Player Jaguar Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the standard cast/sealed tuning machines. The strings are Fender® USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel, so they'll give you a great sound right away. When you start playing, feel the modern 'C' neck profile and the smooth maple fretboard under your fingers. Experiment with the Player Series Alnico 3 Jaguar Humbucking pickup at the bridge and the Alnico 2 Jaguar Single - Coil pickup at the neck to get different tones. For the bridge, you can adjust the 6 - saddle vintage - style bridge with the “floating” tremolo tailpiece to your liking. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry and clean place. Wipe it down after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can use a soft cloth for the body and a fret cleaner for the fretboard. And don't forget to change the strings regularly for the best sound quality. When transporting your guitar, use a proper guitar case to protect it from damage.
