Cleaning a guitar is easy, and it makes sense; the better your equipment looks while you’re performing the more people will respect you.
Everybody loves a nice glimmer and shine while staring in awe at their hero. But the best way to keep a guitar clean goes a long way; nobody wants to give their guitar a full wipe down (or maybe you do, it is your baby after all) every time you play it.
The 3 Steps To Cleaning A Guitar
Three simple steps to keeping your guitar in tip-top appealing condition:
Number 1: Find a good cleaner that will leave a streak free shine and not damage your finish. Pledge is found to be best at this. A simple roll of paper towel will do, as its tough enough to clean your axe but gentle enough not to scratch the finish. Typically you’ll want to clean your guitar every (or every other) time you re-string your guitar.
Number 2: Once you’ve gotten all the pick-dust and grime out of the hard to reach places, its time to condition your fret board. Fast Fret is the most common, and what I recommend for putting a nice layer of armor on your fret board for the beating your fingertips will dish out later.
Number 3: Correlating with Number 2, keep your Fast Fret handy; keeping your strings in good condition is just as if not more important than having your guitar look nice. Once you’ve ever-so carefully restrung your guitar, give the strings a nice coat with these wonder-chemicals to ensure maximum protection.
