cause the endpin to loosen up. Examine the endpin periodically and snug it up with a twisting press when necessary to
minimize the risk of dropping your guitar. Securing the endpin is considered routine maintenance, akin to maintaining
appropriate air pressure in the tires of an automobile.
Be careful when using vinyl, plastic or synthetic leather guitar straps, guitar stands and wall hangers using surgical rub-
ber tubing, as these materials may react with the finish of your instrument.
Please Note: Repair of “fret-sprout”, which is the result of overly dry wood, and damage caused to the instru-
ment by the use of non-Fender-approved polishes, cleaning materials, stands or accessories, will not be
covered under the Fender warranty.
