Using your Fender Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the sealed die - cast tuning machines with split shafts. It's easy and gives you accurate tuning. You can use the 5 - way switch to select different pickup combinations for various tones. For a bright, cutting sound, choose the bridge pickup; for a warmer, fuller tone, go for the neck pickup. When playing, the thin and lightweight body makes it comfortable to hold for long periods, and the slim 'C' - shaped neck feels great in your hand. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. The gloss polyurethane body finish and satin urethane neck finish are durable but still need some care. Check the strings regularly. The nickel - plated steel strings can wear out over time, so replace them when they start to sound dull or feel rough. Also, adjust the truss rod if the neck starts to bow. You can do this by turning the adjustment screw at the headstock, but be careful not to over - adjust. If you're not sure, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician. And when you're not using the guitar, store it in a proper guitar case to protect it from dust, humidity, and physical damage.
