Using your Fender Ed O'Brien EOB Sustainer Stratocaster is a breeze. First, plug it into an amplifier. You can experiment with the different pickup settings. For the neck Sustainer Driver pickup, use the mini toggles to switch between on/off and different voices to get the sound you want. The middle Texas Special single - coil gives a classic, bright tone, and the bridge Seymour Duncan JB Jr. humbucker offers a higher - output crunch. When you're done playing, unplug the guitar gently. To keep your guitar in great shape, wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Store it in a guitar case in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure to keep the tuning machines in good condition by oiling them occasionally.
