Using this Fender American Ultra Stratocaster is a breeze. Just pick it up, tune it using the deluxe cast/sealed locking tuning machines, and start playing. The S - 1 switch is a great addition; you can experiment with adding the neck pickup to different positions to get unique tones. When it comes to soloing, the 10” - 14” compound - radius fingerboard and 22 medium - jumbo frets will make it easy for you to hit those high - register notes. For maintenance, keep it in the provided elite moulded case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. And make sure to store it in a place with stable temperature and humidity to prevent the wood from warping. Also, be careful when using the 2 - point deluxe synchronized tremolo bridge; don't over - use it to avoid misalignment.
