MAINTAINING THE INSTRUMENT

Guitars are tuned to A-440. Leave it tuned to pitch in the case during short periods of storage. If you are going to store it for extended periods, relax the string tension but leave them attached.

Keep your instrument clean. Wax deposits or other foreign materials that are allowed to accumulate will impede its performance.

Keep the strings clean. Perspiration and other foreign materials that accumulate in the windings will cause oxidation and loss of excursion. This results in pitch and intonation problems in the upper ranges.

Change your strings frequently. Fresh strings add to the exciting tonal characteristics of your instrument!
