3. TAKING CARE OF YOUR GUITAR

A guitar is like a piece of precious china. You don't want to leave it around and allow opportunities for it to become damaged. Much like any other kind of stringed instrument, such as harps, sitars, pianos, etc. these instruments play better when they are better taken care of. Therefore, it is important that if you want to obtain a good, clear sound from your guitar, you take good care of it.

Don't spend all of your time investing in a good guitar without investing some money in a good carrying case.Also, make sure that the case is firm and hard, so that in the event that you happen to drop your guitar, the case will prevent any damage to the guitar itself. Your case may be the best case in the world.

Do not leave it exposed to the sun for long periods of time. The sun can penetrate through your case, no matter how good it is, and can damage your guitar, causing its sound and tone to degrade. Take care of your guitar like you would take care of your car. Both provide means of enjoyment and can take you to places that you have never been before.

I would thus advice you all to purchase a good carrying case and also a guitar stand so that the guitar stays in shape …


And keep a clean cloth to clean the guitar and the strings whenever required .
