Regularly wipe down your guitar with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. For a deeper clean, use a guitar-specific polish or cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners, which can damage the finish.
2. Substitució de cordes
Strings should be replaced periodically, depending on playing frequency and string type. Old strings can sound dull and affect tuning stability. Replace strings one at a time to maintain neck tension. Refer to the specifications for recommended string gauge.
3. Humidity and Temperature Control
Acoustic guitars are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Store your guitar in its hardshell case when not in use, ideally in an environment with stable humidity (45-55% relative humidity) and moderate temperature (65-75°F or 18-24°C). Extreme fluctuations can cause wood to crack or warp.

When the battery indicator on the Fishman preamp lights up or the amplified sound becomes weak or distorted, it's time to replace the 9V battery. Always use a fresh alkaline 9V battery.
