CHANGING STRINGS
Visit your local music store to purchase new strings
and get detailed instructions on how to change them.
Replace the strings periodically, as they will lose their
brilliance after a while. How often you change the strings
depends on the type of strings, their gauge or diameter.
Rule of thumb: When the strings start sounding dull,
this is a hint that you should replace them.
CLEANING YOUR GUITAR
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the strings of your guitar
each time after you play. The wetness from your hands
can cause the strings to rust. Cleaning the strings
regularly will greatly prolong their life.
Polish your guitar from time to time using a high-grade
instrument polish containing small amounts of non-silicon
wax and maybe a little lemon oil.
To keep the fingerboard free from dry marks and cracks,
some lemon oil on a cloth applied to the wood should do
the job.
CARE
Do not lean your guitar against walls; it could get knocked
over or bumped into.
Never leave your guitar lying on the floor or on the edge
of your bed where it may get stepped on or knocked off
or even sat on.
If you’re looking for further guitar instructions, please take a look at the following books:

Never leave your instrument in the trunk of a car when
the weather is very warm or extremely cold. Extreme
temperatures can be harmful to your gear. If you must
store your guitar inside a car, first remove the tension
from the strings and allow things to cool off or warm up
completely before pulling up to pitch again.
