5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe down the guitar regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.2 String Replacement

Strings should be replaced periodically as they wear out, lose their tone, or break. When replacing strings, do so one at a time to maintain neck tension. You can choose between electric guitar strings (for a brighter, more electric sound) or acoustic guitar strings (for a warmer, more acoustic sound). Ensure the new strings are of appropriate gauge for the guitar.

5.3 Storage

When not in use, store the guitar in its padded gig bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and minor impacts. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and electronics.
