Using this Fender American Ultra Stratocaster is a breeze. Just plug it into your amplifier, and you're ready to start playing. When you're soloing, the 10” - 14” compound - radius fingerboard will help you move your fingers smoothly across the frets. The Ultra Noiseless™ pickups give you a clear sound without any annoying hum. For tuning, use the deluxe cast/sealed locking tuning machines. Make sure to keep your guitar in a dry place to avoid any damage to the wood. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding good. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, keep it in the provided elite molded case. Also, be careful when using the 2 - point deluxe synchronised tremolo bridge to avoid any accidental breakage.
