Using this Fender Japan Hybrid II Stratocaster is easy. First, take it out of the gig bag. Plug it into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the volume and tone knobs on the guitar to get the sound you like. When playing, the narrow - tall frets and 9.5 - inch radius fingerboard make it smooth to move your fingers up and down the neck. For the tremolo system, you can use it to add a vibrato effect to your playing, but be careful not to over - use it as it can make the strings go out of tune. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and clean place. Wipe it with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the tuning machines regularly to make sure they are working properly. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to replace them with new nickel - plated steel strings of the same gauge (.009 -.042).
