If you want to enjoy the perks of playing your guitar for many years, you need to look after it constantly.
First of all, make sure to clean it from dust, debris, and any stains every time you use it and before putting it inside its case. The case should feature a strong and sturdy construction and should be thick enough to absorb shocks and protect the product from water, stains, and extreme temperatures.
Direct exposure to sunlight also interferes with the wood quality of a guitar and may make it sound off-tune.
Another way to protect your guitar is to use a special stand whenever you’re not holding it in your hands. Keeping it in a stand will prevent accidents and will also help you easily clean the instrument using a damp cloth.
Don’t forget to use special oils and lubricants designed to preserve the wood’s quality and look and also change the strings once in a while. Don’t go full rock and roll with it either so avoid smashing it after a good gig.
