Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the carbon fiber body with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For more persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• String Care: Nylon strings are durable but will eventually wear out and lose their tonal quality. Replace strings as needed, following standard nylon string replacement procedures.
• Storage: Always store the guitar in its provided gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust, minor impacts, and environmental fluctuations. While carbon fiber is stable, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures should still be avoided.
• Battery Life: To maintain optimal battery health and longevity, avoid frequently allowing the battery to completely drain. Charge the guitar regularly, especially if it will be stored for extended periods.
