Dust on the panel can be blown off with the wind or wiped off with a dry rag.


Purchase a guitar cover to protect your guitar from dust. High-end guitars need to buy a guitar case, which is convenient for guitar storage.


When there is dust on the strings, you can also wipe them with a dry cloth.


You can put some desiccant in the guitar case. When the strings are rusted, you should choose to replace the strings or wipe them with a dry cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of oil.


Playing frequently and keeping all parts of the guitar fully vibrating at all times is the best way to take care of your guitar.


Guitars cannot be placed on the table or floor.
