Using your 70th Anniversary Player Stratocaster is a breeze. First, make sure the guitar is properly tuned using the Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines. You can adjust the tuning to your preference for different songs. When playing, hold the guitar comfortably with the Modern “C” profile maple neck in your hand. The rosewood fingerboard gives a smooth feel under your fingers. To get different tones, switch between the Pure Vintage '59 Single - Coil Strat® pickups. The bridge pickup usually gives a brighter sound, while the neck pickup offers a warmer tone. The 2 - point tremolo allows you to add some vibrato effects to your playing. Be gentle when using it to avoid detuning. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in the deluxe gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to keep the gloss polyester finish looking good. Check the strings periodically and replace them when they start to sound dull or lose their tension. Also, make sure the hardware is tightened properly to ensure the guitar's stability and performance.
