Using the Fender Player Lead III Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure you've got fresh strings on it. You can easily tune it with the vintage - style tuning machines. The dual - toggle switches are great for changing the pickup sound, so play around with them to find your favorite tone. When you're not using the guitar, keep it in a guitar case to protect it from dust and scratches. Try to store it in a place with stable temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping. To maintain it, wipe the body with a soft cloth after each use to keep the gloss polyester finish looking good. You can also clean the fretboard with a fretboard cleaner to keep it in top condition. And don't forget to change the strings regularly for the best sound.
