Using your Fender Eric Johnson 1954 Virginia Stratocaster is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the master volume to your desired sound level. Use the tone controls to shape the sound - Tone 1 affects the neck and middle pickups, while Tone 2 is for the bridge pickup. The 5 - position blade switch allows you to choose different pickup combinations for various tones. When not in use, keep it in the deluxe hardshell case to protect it from damage. Clean the guitar regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the lacquer finish looking great. Check the tuning regularly, especially before a performance. If you need to adjust the truss rod, it's a vintage - style butt adjust, but it's best to have a professional do it if you're not experienced. And make sure to change the strings periodically for the best sound. That's all you need to know to keep your guitar in top shape and enjoy making great music with it.
