There are many hazards that many people are not aware of
that can harm your guitar. One of these is very important for your guitar’s
performance. You should never let your guitar go into extreme changes of temperature
because this causes many problems and you can ultimately “kill” your guitar.
One example is traveling, if you live in a mild area and then all of a sudden
decide to go to Antarctica with your guitar, your instrument will not be the
same and you will need to have it set up again because the neck will morph. Another
thing is never leave your guitar in your trunk the summer heat, if you live in in
a place such as L.A., will damage your guitar externally as well as internally
because of all the electronics within the guitar. Also a basic procedure to
take if you travel is to make sure you latch your case because it will take a
tumble if you don’t, this has happened to me a couple of times and it is saddening.
Strings are vital, never over tighten the strings on your guitar because it creates
a lot of tension and may not end well. Last but not least is if you travel by plane;
make sure you loosen all of the strings because the change in pressure can damage
the neck with the change of the tension of the strings. These are some of the many
precautions to put in mind and “save” your instrument.
