Using your Fender Player Stratocaster is easy. First, plug it into an amplifier and turn on the power. Adjust the amplifier settings to get the sound you like, whether it's a clean sound for acoustic - like playing or a distorted sound for rock. When you're done playing, unplug the guitar safely. Keep the guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. Check the tuning regularly, especially before a performance. If you need to change the strings, make sure to use the recommended Fender® USA, NPS, (.009 -.042 Gauges) strings. Also, keep the guitar away from extreme temperatures and humidity to maintain its quality.
