Using your Fender American Ultra Telecaster is easy. First, tune it up using the deluxe cast/sealed locking tuning machines. The strings are Fender® USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel, so they're high - quality. When you play, the 'Modern D' neck with Ultra rolled fingerboard edges will make your hands feel comfortable, whether you're strumming chords or soloing. The pickups give you a great range of tones, so you can switch between different sounds to fit your style. As for maintenance, keep it in the included elite moulded case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after playing to keep them clean. Check the tuning regularly, especially if you've been transporting the guitar. And don't forget to change the strings when they start to lose their tone. With proper care, your guitar will serve you well for years.
