Using your Fender Vintera II 60s Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. You'll notice they're easy to adjust and keep your guitar in tune well. Then, plug it into an amplifier. Experiment with the three Custom Shop Fat '60s pickups by using the selector switch to get different tones. The vintage - style synchronized tremolo is great for adding some flair to your playing. Just pull or push the bar gently to create dips and rises in pitch.
When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and sweat. Check the strings regularly for wear and tear and replace them when they start to sound dull. If you're not going to play your guitar for a while, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck. And store it in a proper guitar case to protect it from dust, humidity, and bumps.
