For maintenance, wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to keep the nitrocellulose lacquer finish looking great. Clean the fretboard with a proper fretboard cleaner to prevent dirt build - up. Also, change the nickel - plated steel strings every few months for the best sound quality. Make sure to store it in a place with stable temperature and humidity to avoid any warping of the neck or body.
