Viðhald

1. Þrif

After each use, wipe down the strings and body with a clean, soft cloth to remove sweat and oils. For the body, use a guitar-specific polish sparingly. For the maple fretboard, a dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

2. Strengjaskipti

Strings should be replaced regularly, depending on usage. Replace one string at a time to maintain neck tension. Use high-quality strings of the same gauge (e.g., .009-.042). Stretch new strings gently to help them settle and hold tune.

3. Umhirða gripbrettisins

The maple fretboard is durable. Periodically, you may clean it with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to dry it immediately. Avoid excessive moisture.

4. Bridge and Intonation

The synchronized tremolo bridge may require occasional adjustment for intonation or action. If you are unfamiliar with these adjustments, it is recommended to consult a qualified guitar technician.
