Great info thanks. I also read that keeping your strings too tight can warp the neck and that that you should loosen them after playing but that seems like a lot of effort!

Behind every awesome guitar player, there is one great luthier.

Keeping a good relationship with your luthier is key, especially if you have multiple guitars that you take care of it. The invaluable maintenance tips that you can get once you get past the “friendly” stage could be saving you thousands of dollars.

I have to save for quite a while to buy my guitar, so I always make sure it’s in good condition. Some of my friends even thought I’m over protective when it comes to my guitar, but I just love it and treasure it too much!

That picture of the guitar on the side of the house covered in snow makes me cringe. I play a little bit of guitar. Your point about making sure to get to know your tech or luthier was really helpful for me when I got my first guitar. He actually builds custom guitars from scratch. He could answer any question I had about components, care, and even other stringed instruments like basses an ukuleles. This is a great place to start and makes sense as to why you mad it the first point in your article.

As far as the humidity requirements, I would like to add that you should change environmental conditions slowly. Abrupt temperature and/or humidity changes will mess up a guitar much quicker than keeping it at a constant 35%RH, which I personally think is the optimum. I have seen the effects of over-humidifing which doesn’t get as much discussion as too dry conditions. I once saw a Martin at Sam Ash sitting in 55%Rh that had mold inside the body. The problem was that the believed the setting on their thermostat rather than actually measuring the humidity. Turns out their RH was over 65%. That’s a pretty costly mistake. For reference I have been playing for 52 years and have several guitars that I personally maintain. I also calibrate environmental instrumentation for a living.

That’s true that straps aren’t always up to par. I’ll have to check mine out so I don’t drop my guitar. Keeping it in good condition is important to me. Acclimating it to your climate is a good idea as well. I should look up where my guitar is from.

As someone who has developed emotional bonds with certain guitars, these are all horrifying pictures. They’re the perfect choice, don’t get me wrong. But the guitar in the snow, the one flying through the air, the one being smashed, they are all so cringe-worthy. It’s a good way to get people to follow your advice.
