Using your Fender FSR Player Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the standard cast/sealed tuning machines. Make sure to keep it in a room with a stable temperature and humidity to prevent any damage to the alder body or maple fretboard. When you play, experiment with the three Player Series Alnico 5 Strat® single - coil pickups to get different tones for various music styles. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body, fretboard, and hardware. Every few months, you can change the Fender® USA 250L nickel - plated steel strings for better sound quality. If you use the 2 - point synchronized tremolo bridge, be gentle to avoid misalignment. Enjoy making great music with your Stratocaster!
