Údržba
1. Čištění
Regularly wipe down the guitar with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. For satin finishes, use a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that can alter the finish. For hardware, a dry cloth is usually sufficient.
2. Výměna strun
Replace strings regularly to maintain optimal tone and playability. The guitar comes equipped with Nickel strings. When replacing, change one string at a time to maintain neck tension.
3. Péče o hmatník
The Indian Rosewood fretboard benefits from occasional conditioning to prevent drying and cracking. Use a specialized fretboard conditioner once or twice a year, or as needed based on climate.
4. Skladování
Store the guitar in its case when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity fluctuations, and physical damage. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
