Using this Fender Vintera 70s Telecaster Custom is easy. First, tune it up using the 'F' - stamped tuning machines for a stable pitch. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. The combination of pickups gives you a wide range of tones, so experiment to find your favorite sound. When you're done playing, put it in the included gig bag to protect it. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to avoid damage to the body and fretboard. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull or lose their tension. If you notice any issues with the tuning or the pickups, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
