Using your Fender Meteora HH electric guitar is easy. First, tune it up using the standard cast/sealed tuning machines. You can use the included Fender USA 250L nickel - plated steel strings. Plug it into an amplifier and start playing. For different tones, adjust the pickups. The Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking pickups give you a great range of sounds. When not in use, store it in the deluxe gig bag to protect it. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Clean the body with a soft cloth regularly. Check the strings often and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure to adjust the bridge from time to time for better playability.
