Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the body, neck, and hardware with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, sweat, and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning, use a guitar-specific cleaner.
• String Care: Clean the strings with a cloth after each playing session to prolong their life and maintain tone. Change strings regularly to ensure consistent sound quality.
• Fretboard Maintenance: Clean the fretboard with a fretboard oil or conditioner every few months to maintain its appearance and prevent the wood from drying out.
• Polishing the Finish: Use a non-abrasive guitar polish to keep the glossy finish looking pristine. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Electronics and Hardware: Inspect and clean the electronics, knobs, and input jack as needed. If you notice any scratchy sounds or connection issues, check the wiring or consider professional servicing.
• Proper Storage: Store the guitar in its case or gig bag when not in use, and keep it in a dry, stable environment to avoid temperature and humidity fluctuations that can affect the wood.
• Neck and Action Adjustments: Check the neck for proper relief and adjust the truss rod if needed. Set the action and intonation to your preference for optimal playability.
