Taking care of your new or second-hand used Guitar.
- First and most important thing to get used to doing is buying a stand. This is a very small investment approx $30, approximately $30. This is going to save you a lot of heartache, believe me, I know the upset i have seen from customers whose guitars have broken guitar necks. Always keep it on your stand when you are not playing; this will protect your precious investment.
Guitar Care Tips:
- Keep your guitar in the case when it is not being used
- Better still, invest in a guitar stand. You will be glad you did.
- Wipe down the guitar with a clean, dry cloth after playing
- Replace the strings when necessary
- Oil the fingerboard, just a light wipe, then polish till dry.
