If there are any electrical components on your guitar which you think need to be fixed, please be aware
that we recommend taking your guitar to your local music store to fix it. Beginner musicians and
people unfamiliar with repairing the electrical parts of a guitar should not attempt to do so, especially
without supervision.
If you hear any rattling or buzzing noises while playing, some hardware may be loose. You can tighten
any hardware with the appropriate tool. It could be possible that a nut on the bridge post may be
loose. If you hear a rattling noise, try strumming the guitar with one hand to re-create the noise while
touching various parts with your other hand. The rattling should stop once you touch the affected part,
and then you can tighten the part that is loose.
Dust and other foreign matter can harm the quality of your electric guitar. Make sure to regularly clean
and maintain your guitar, including around the tuning pegs and bridge. Do not leave your guitar
exposed to the elements, and be aware that guitars are sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity,
and altitude.
