4. Одржување
4.1 Чистење
Wipe down your guitar with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. For a deeper clean, use guitar-specific cleaning products. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4.2 Замена на низа
Strings should be replaced regularly, typically every 1-3 months depending on playing frequency. Old strings can sound dull and affect tuning stability. When replacing strings, do so one at a time to maintain neck tension. Use light gauge acoustic guitar strings for optimal playability and tone.
4.3 Влажност и температура
Acoustic guitars are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Store your guitar in a stable environment, ideally between 45-55% relative humidity and 70-75°F (21-24°C). Extreme fluctuations can cause wood to crack or warp.
