Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the body and neck with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, use a guitar-specific cleaner.
• String Care: Clean your guitar strings with a cloth after playing to remove oils and dirt. Change the strings regularly to maintain tone quality.
• Fretboard Care: Clean and condition the fretboard every few months using a fretboard oil or conditioner to keep it in good condition, especially if it's made of wood like rosewood or ebony.
• Polish the Finish: To maintain the glossy finish, use a guitar-specific polish, but avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
• Check the Electronics: Regularly inspect the electronics (pickups, knobs, switches) for any signs of wear or malfunction. Clean the knobs and input jack if necessary.
• Proper Storage: Store the guitar in a protective case or gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Keep it in a stable environment, avoiding extreme temperature and humidity changes.
• Truss Rod and Action Adjustment: Check the neck relief using the truss rod and adjust the action and intonation to ensure optimal playability. Have a professional setup done regularly.
