Vzdrževanje
1. Čiščenje
Wipe down your guitar with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. For a deeper clean, use a guitar-specific polish and cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. Zamenjava nizov
Replace strings regularly (every 1-3 months depending on usage) to maintain optimal tone and playability. Use light gauge alloy steel strings for best results with this model. Replace one string at a time to maintain neck tension.
3. Nadzor vlažnosti
Acoustic guitars are sensitive to humidity changes. Store your guitar in a stable environment, ideally between 45-55% relative humidity, to prevent wood warping or cracking.
4. Nega ubiralke
Periodically clean and condition the rosewood fretboard to prevent drying and cracking. Use a lemon oil or fretboard conditioner, applying sparingly and wiping off any excess.
