Using your Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS is a breeze. First, plug in your guitar to an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the master volume to your desired level. You can then use the 5 - position blade pickup switch to choose different pickup combinations for various sounds. For example, position 1 gives you the bridge humbucking pickup for a thick, powerful sound. When using the tone controls, Tone 1 affects the neck and middle pickups, while Tone 2 (Greasebucket™) is for the bridge pickup. The push - pull tone control on Tone 2 is for the DoubleTap humbucking pickup. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent damage to the wood and electronics. Wipe the strings down after each use to remove dirt and sweat, which can cause corrosion. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and neck. If you need to adjust the truss rod, use the 1/8' hex (Allen) wrench carefully. And don't forget to change the strings regularly for the best sound quality.
