Using this Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster is a breeze. Just grab the included strap, attach it to the guitar, and you're ready to start playing. The vintage - style tuning machines make it easy to get your guitar in tune. When you're done playing, put it back in the deluxe hardshell case to keep it safe. To keep your guitar in top shape, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any sweat or dirt. If you need to clean the fretboard, use a fretboard cleaner recommended for rosewood. And don't forget to change the strings regularly for the best sound.
