4.1 רייניקונג

Regularly wipe down the guitar with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For a deeper clean, use guitar-specific cleaning products. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

4.2 סטרינג אויסטויש

Replace strings periodically, as worn strings can affect tone and playability. When replacing, change one string at a time to maintain neck tension. Use nickel strings for optimal performance, as the guitar is equipped with a bone nut designed for this material.

4.3 Fretboard Care

The rosewood fretboard benefits from occasional conditioning to prevent drying and cracking. Use a specialized fretboard conditioner or lemon oil (sparingly) to keep it hydrated. Clean the stainless steel frets with a fine-grit polishing cloth if they become dull.
