After each use, wipe down the strings and body with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat and oils. For the body, a guitar-specific polish can be used occasionally. Clean the fretboard with a suitable fretboard conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, especially if it appears dry.

Strings should be replaced regularly, typically every 1-3 months depending on usage, or when they sound dull or show signs of corrosion. Your guitar comes with Nickel Steel strings. When replacing, change one string at a time to maintain neck tension.

Store your guitar in its gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity changes, and accidental damage. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or sudden changes in humidity, as this can affect the wood and playability.

The "action" (string height) and "intonation" (accuracy of notes across the fretboard) are factory-set. Over time, or with changes in climate, these may require adjustment. For precise adjustments, especially for the truss rod, it is recommended to consult a qualified guitar technician.

- No Sound from Ampmáis vivo: Ensure the instrument cable is securely connected to both the guitar and amplificador. Comproba o amplifier's power and volume settings. Test with a different cable or ampvitalizador se é posible.
- Stiff Tuning Pegs: New tuning pegs can sometimes be stiff. Regular use typically loosens them. If they remain excessively stiff, a small amount of lubricant designed for guitar hardware may be applied, or consider professional inspection.
