Few Tips to Maintain Your Guitar

Here are a few tips for caring for your favorite guitar, either electric guitar or acoustic guitar. Based on my personal experience during a guitar, how to care for an acoustic guitar or electric guitar is almost the same.
 

1) Clean the Strings Once used, guitar strings will be exposed to sweat, dirt, etc.. If not cleaned, will cause rust, and rust will erode out the fret. Strings can be cleaned by wiped with jersey material, if necessary with a mild liquid cleaner string. Do not forget to clean all parts of strings (up & down).
 

2) Guitar Place We recommend that the guitar has a place or a glove to protect it from the dirty air outside, and from the impact, both softcase and hardcase. Softcase lighter and easier to carry around where, while the total hardcase protects from impact. depending on options. Always store your guitar in a case when not played.
 

3) Clean Guitar Guitar also need a bath, but not taken to the bathroom and then watered, simply wipe it with a jersey material. Starting from the body, neck, let alone the pickup under the strings, which certainly difficult to clean the dust (for it could use a paint brush). Just to shine again. If necessary, use liquid guitar polish.
 

4) Changing Strings If the strings are rusty, replace immediately. If not, his voice will become erratic and unpleasant not played, the finger can hurt. It also can damage the fret guitar. Get used to replace one set of guitar strings at once. To prevent streaks between the strings sound into new and old strings. So if you have long strings and broke one of them, it is advisable to replace all of them. Indeed, so spend more money .. but for the sake of favorite guitar okay right?
 

5) Clean the fretboard Fretboard, is a nesting place of dirt and sweat through finger finger pressing the strings. If left too long, it could even become crust. So each time you change the strings, clean the fretboard.The first trick is dirt should be scraped using a blunt object, the most easily available, of course, guitar pick. Then after a clean, wipe again with a jersey material.
 

6) Bring Into Service placeIf the guitar is that not right, take it to a specialist guitar service.Don even think to repair ityourelf. The result is not necessarily so good. Even so it can be destroyed.
 

7) Do not slam As we know, the guitar is not cheap items. If more angry, slam something else, such as flower vases, cups, plates, or other. Sometimes when on stage, people often slam the guitar, even burn. It is still studied by scientists until now.LOL 

That's all,I hope this tips useful
