2. CLEANING
- To keep your new Donner guitar in good condition, we suggest that you should get into the habit of cleaning the guitar every time you finish
playing. All guitar parts should be cleaned regularly.
- The metal parts are easily oxidized, please make sure to wipe the strings, bridge, pickups, and tuners with a dry, delicate cotton cloth every
time you finish playing. (But remember, the cloth used for wiping metal parts cannot be the same as the cloth used for wiping the guitar
body)
- We also recommend that you wipe the fingerboard with a dry, delicate cotton cloth every time you finish playing, so you can prevent dirt
buildup. If the fingerboard becomes very dirty, please remove the strings and clean the fingerboard thoroughly.
- Avoid the use of furniture polish or any glass cleaner on a guitar as this will not react well with the finish.
- Maple fingerboard cleaning: Finished maple or glossy fingerboard can be cleaned and polished with any standard guitar cleaner intended
for finished woods. Unfinished/raw maple fingerboards are essentially raw wood and require an oil-based fingerboard cleaner for cleaning
and conditioning.
- For gloss-finished surface cleaning, such as the body, back of the neck, and headstock, we recommend using specialized cleaning products
only. Use lightly with a soft polishing cloth or cotton cloth.
3. STORAGE
- When not playing your guitar, keep it in its gig bag/case. If you don't own a gig bag/case, we strongly recommend purchasing a Donner gig
bag/case. Using a gig bag/case will offer the best possible protection against damage and will keep your instrument from gathering dust.
- Keeping your guitar safe and in excellent playing condition is all about what you do with it when you're not playing it. Keeping it in a safe
location like its gig bag/case and maintaining the proper humidity level where it's stored are all key for proper guitar care.
