Using your Fender Japan Hybrid II Jazzmaster Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up with the vintage - style locking tuners. When you're ready to play, strum or pick the nickel - plated steel strings. The modern 'C' neck with a satin finish offers a comfortable grip. The floating tremolo allows you to add unique effects to your playing. For note - taking, be careful not to scratch the body's gloss polyester finish. Keep the guitar in a dry place to prevent damage to the alder back and flame maple top. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to maintain their tone. You can also wipe down the fretboard and hardware with appropriate cleaners. Store it in the provided gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and minor impacts.
