Any musician has to take care of their instruments. A clean guitar describes you as a person and it can determine the way you play even. Cleaning your guitar is important but we should talk about keeping your guitar from getting so dirty in the first place. Here are the main tips we recommend:
-Make Sure Your Hands Are Clean Before You Play Guitar: Many players wash their hands, but you would be surprised at the number of musicians who pick up their instruments after eating greasy food leaving their guitar covered in fingerprints.
Not sure if your hands are impacting your guitar? Take a look at your strings. Is there a color mismatch where you typically play? Washing your hands will save you time and money in the long run because you won't have to buy new strings as often or spend hours changing them.
-Keep Your Guitar In A Case: If you like to keep your guitar out on display, you probably don't want to hear this. But, it would be best if you keep your guitar in a case. The major downside of leaving your guitar out is that it accumulates a lot of dust. Dust isn't as harmful as sweat, but it can build up in the crevices of your guitar, affecting its electronics (if it has any) and its functionality over time.
When your guitar isn't in its case, it is exposed to everything else around it. So, just put your guitar back in its case when you aren't using it to protect it.
