As you play your guitar, your strings will gradually wear out and begin to sound dull. If you go too long with the same set of strings, they can begin to rust and eventually snap while you're playing.

Each player is different but in general they should be changed every couple weeks or when you notice they start getting dirty.

Coated strings tend to last much longer and have a different feel when you play them.

Keep your guitar dust and dirt-free by wiping it down with a microfiber cloth. Getting under the strings is important!

We recomend that you wipe down your guitar and condition the fretboard with something like Lemon Oil any time the guitar is being restrung.

If you notice your guitar starting to crack in any spot, or it is becoming uncomfortable to play, you should bring it to a luthier. We can help adjust the string height, truss-rod, saddle(s), and more to "set up" a guitar properly so that it's comfortable and a pleasure to play.
