As you play your guitar, certain adjustments will be needed to keep the instrument in good playing condition. We recommend that you bring your guitar in for its first checkup within six months of the date of purchase. Afterwards, the instrument should be serviced once or twice a year.
Strings Change the strings frequently.
For acoustic guitars, change the strings at least three or four times a year. For electric guitars at least five or six times a year. Bass guitarists should change their strings two or three times a year. Human perspiration corrodes strings and will deaden them with time and frequency of playing. A string winder will help make changing your strings easier.
