Easy Guitar Maintenance
Wether you paid one dollar or one thousand dollars for your electric guitar or electric bass guitar they all have something in common, they all need maintenance at some time or another. Here are some simple tips you should apply for keeping up your guitar or bass.
If you find your strings are either hard to play or have lost their luster try wiping the strings with a polish, or if that doesn’t work replace the strings then wipe them down regularly. Is your bass guitar looking dull and dirty clean the wood with a polish that is recommended for guitars, and don’t use just any old cloth, again use one that is recommended for your guitar and won’t scratch it.
Where you keep your guitar or bass can have a big impact on the way it looks and plays, don’t keep in a place where there is too much moisture. The humidity should be about 45 to 55 percent in a room where the temperature is 65 to 75 degrees. Not enough humidity will cause the wood in your guitar to dry out and crack, while to much humidity will cause the wood to swell and crack.
