The care of the guitar is not difficult, but you can ruin your pretty valuable tool in a few weeks or a few simple rules for care.
The best way, guitar is your life can be extended, the temperature and humidity. High humidity causes the wood to swell and distort it, add a little heat, and melt the glue joint, not good. Low humidity leads to reduced to what the guitar cracks and seam separation. The heat expands and cold woodTreated. Temperature changes can also cause something called hair cracks or checking the temperature which, when fully developed small cracks guitar is like the tears of an ancient painting. This often happens when you bring in guitar from the cold in heated seats. Normally, the dust makes the guitar in a bad light, but in extreme cases, prone to leave the wood. If you take the guitar from a cold to warm room, try to leave a chance for a little 'heat up togradually.
Humidity Control
Winter and summer are the hardest on guitar. In winter, dry air from a heated house is particularly hard. It 'good to invest in a humidifier and keep the guitar in the same room as most humidifiers are not out of the room you are working or a whole house humidifier. In the summer, while many guitars heavily damaged the rear of the truck left, super hot. The heat causes the adhesive to prevent loosening, so that the guitar in the hot sun or somewhere veryheat.
Unless you want your guitar to resemble the sand dunes, avoid extreme temperature and humidity changes. Always keep your guitar from radiators, hot air ducts, freezing drafts, attics, garages, and so on. My friends guitars got ruined because his parents decided to store them in the attic while he was away, he had five. All of them got warped and now they are all useless. I felt very sad for him, because I know he at least paid a grand for each one of those guitars and he is not what you would call a rich person.
One of the best ways to survive the climate change is to buy a good guitar. Guitars made with aged, properly finished, air-dried, quartersawed wood are the best. Guitars made of cheap plywood are the worst. Usually American made guitars are of the best quality, they are made in the climate-control factories, unlike some cheapies made in Taiwan.
So as you can see taking care of your guitar is not hard, but you do have to be careful.
