Using your Fender American Acoustasonic Stratocaster is a breeze. Start by tuning it up with the Fender® Standard Cast/Sealed Staggered tuning machines. You can experiment with the 3 - pickup configuration to find the tone that suits your style. For a more acoustic sound, rely on the Under - Saddle Piezo and Internal Body Sensor. When you want that classic electric rhythm, switch to the N4 Magnetic pickup. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to prevent damage to the solid Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt, which will help extend their lifespan. When transporting the guitar, always use the included 1225 Deluxe Gig Bag to protect it from bumps and scratches. And remember, avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures as it can affect the body finish and the overall performance of the instrument.
