Care Of Your Instrument
We recommend that you always keep your instrument in a case or gig bag
when transporting or storing it. This reduces the possibility of damage due to
nicks and jams, or sudden changes in climate or atmosphere.
Never put your instrument in the trunk of your car or place anything on top of it.
Perspiration can damage the finish of your instrument so always wipe down
your guitar with a clean soft cloth after playing or before storing. Polishing with
high gloss guitar polish will prolong the life of the finish.
Tuning Your Instrument
Many individuals have their own tuning method. We recommend standard guitar
or bass tuning to A-440, using a tuning fork, electronic tuner or pitch pipe. The
following chart shows standard tuning. The 1st string is the smallest diameter.
Tune the two outside strings first, then tune towards the center. This equalizes
the pressure on the bridge and allows rapid tuning.
