Tips to keep your guitar in good condition.

Its very important to maintain your guitar well. Since, less caring can damage it and can cause adverse effect on this tone and can cost you quite a lot . So, to avoid paying too much for its maintenance, there are listed few tips to keep your guitar healthy and melodious.

  1. Clean your guitar strings with oil at least weekly or after every 10 days at max. This will help in preventing the strings from corrosion. Since, corroded strings sounds bad and also regular oiling of strings extends the lifetime of strings and hence it spares you from buying new sets of strings.
  2. After every time you end playing guitar and are going to keep it back in case, don't forget to loosen the strings. An unused tuned guitar can cause the guitar neck to become bent or warped. And a bent or warped guitar sounds bad.
  3. Always wash your hand and wipe the strings of guitar with a piece of paper or cloth before start playing guitar. This way your guitar neck and body will stay clean and spot free.
  4. clean the guitar neck with soft bristle brush soaked in oil . Do the cleaning gently and then clean it gently using soft cotton cloth.
  5. keep your guitar in an open room. Don't put your guitar in a case, rather hang it somewhere in an open room as a showpiece because your poor guitar also needs to breathe.
These are basic and highly recommended or I should say the musts of how to keep a guitar healthy. Since you're using something and you like it or love it, then its your responsibility to take care of it.

Soon I'll come back with guitar lessons for beginners.

Happy Playing.
