As a work of art and a musical instrument, the maintenance of the guitar is particularly important. Careful care can not only extend its life, but also ensure the stability of sound quality and playing sense. Here are someways to maintain your guitar:
Daily cleaning
It is very important to wipe the guitar casing clean. Dip a soft dry cloth in some water and gently wipe the surface of the guitar. Be careful not to use detergents that contain alkaline compounds, as these substances can damage the surface of the guitar.
Adjust the guitar string height
No matter how good the guitar is, it needs constant adjustment to ensure the quality of the performance. String height is the distance from the fingerboard to the string. Too high or too low will affect the performer's performance.
Usually the string height is based on the distance of the 12th guitar string, which should be controlled at about 2.5mm. If you are not sure how to adjust the guitar string height, it is recommended that you ask a professional guitar master to adjust it.
Keep dry
Guitars need to be kept in a dry space to avoid moisture and exposure to sunlight, which can cause the wood to deform. If your guitar is not used for a long time, it is best to put it in a sealed case, which can protect the guitar from dust and stains.
Change the strings regularly
The string will become rusty and dirty after a period of use, which will affect the sound quality. The service life of the string is usually 2-3 months, it is recommended that you check the condition of the string once a month, if there is rust, fracture or the tone becomes blurred, you should replace the string.

It is necessary to find a guitar master regularly for repairs and adjustments. Including inspection of guitar joints, piano docks, string buttons and the internal mechanism of the body, find defects in time to repair.
