Using your Fender American Ultra Telecaster is a breeze. First, tune it up with the deluxe cast/sealed locking tuning machines. Once it's in tune, start strumming or soloing. The smooth fingerboard and easy - access neck heel make it comfortable to play all over the fretboard. When you're done playing, put it back in the elite molded case to protect it. As for maintenance, keep the guitar clean by wiping it down with a soft cloth after each use. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull. If you're not sure about something, take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up. Also, make sure to store it in a place with stable temperature and humidity to prevent any damage to the wood or hardware.
