Using your Fender Player Stratocaster is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is in tune using the tuning machines. You can plug it into an amplifier to start making music. This guitar is great for all music styles, so feel free to experiment. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and clean place. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to prevent rust. If the action (the height of the strings from the fretboard) feels off, it might need adjustment. You can take it to a professional guitar technician for that. Also, be careful when using the tremolo bridge. Don't over - bend the strings while using it to avoid damage. With proper care, your Fender Player Stratocaster will serve you well for a long time.
