                                     Important


               Care should be taken at all times to look after your
                  guitar and it will serve you with many years of
                                       pleasure.


               It’s a great idea to have a wiping cloth or an old t-
              towel in your kit bag so you can wipe down the strings
                         of the guitar after each session.


              Perspiration, acids and oils build up on the finger tips
              whilst you are playing this transfers onto the strings
               and fret board, if not wiped off after each session

             can make the strings lose tone rather quickly; and the
                       strings can get rusty too, over time.


                 When you have finished playing, give the guitar

              strings a wipe down and place the guitar on a stand in
                a corner of a room or away in its case, somewhere

                                         safe.



                                                                      The last thing you want is people
                                                                      tripping over your valuable guitar
                                                                      and causing accidental damage to

                                                                      your instrument.

                                                                      It can be expensive and time
                                                                      consuming to repair!!
