Maintenance
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the 1200D waterproof nylon exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Interior: Gently vacuum or brush out any dust or debris from the velvet lining. For spills, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dry.
- Zipper Care: Periodically check zippers for smooth operation. If they become stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant.
- Storage: Store the gig bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the straps, handles, and stitching for any signs of wear or damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain the bag's integrity.
Troubleshooting
- Guitar does not fit: Ensure you are using the gig bag for an electric guitar. The DHEEGB model is specifically designed for standard electric guitars.
- Zipper sticking: Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or wax) to the teeth.
- Straps feel uncomfortable: Adjust the length of the padded rear straps to distribute weight evenly and ensure a comfortable fit.
- Lack of protection: Ensure the guitar's neck is properly secured with the adjustable neck rest and the main compartment is fully zipped. The 25mm DHFOAM padding provides substantial protection against impacts.
