Care and Maintenance Advice

Your guitar is more than just an instrument—it’s a machine with intricate parts that need regular attention. Like a health checkup for your body, regular maintenance for your guitar ensures longevity and optimal performance.

Preventative Maintenance: Catch small issues before they become major (or expensive) problems.

Seasonal Adjustments: Changes in weather can impact your guitar’s wood and electronics.

Even a simple change in string gauge can affect your guitar’s playability. Don’t risk permanent damage—let an expert handle it.
