Using your Fender American Ultra Telecaster is a joy. To start playing, first make sure the guitar is in tune using the deluxe cast/sealed locking tuning machines. Sit or stand comfortably and hold the guitar with the neck in your non - dominant hand and the pick or fingers ready to play on the strings. When playing solos, take advantage of the 10” - 14” compound - radius fingerboard and 22 medium - jumbo frets for smooth and accurate notes. For different tones, experiment with the Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage pickups and advanced wiring. When you're done playing, put the guitar back in the elite molded case to protect it. As for maintenance, wipe the guitar with a soft cloth after each use to keep it clean. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to wear out. Also, make sure the tuning machines are working properly and keep the hardware clean to maintain its shine.
