Frequently Asked Questions

What are the care instructions?

Make sure to regularly clean and maintain your guitar, including around the tuning pegs and bridge. To clean your guitar, use a dry soft cloth. If desired, guitar polish can be bought from a local music store. Do not leave your instrument exposed to sunlight or the elements. Be aware that all instruments made of wood are sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity, and altitude.

Can this guitar work for left-handed players?

Yes, it can. You can always swap out the strings to be orientated for a left-handed player.

Why are half the strings on the guitar nylon and the other half steel?

All the strings on this guitar are nylon. Three of the bass strings contain a coating with a texture that helps the nylon create the bass notes. However, they are not steel strings, rather the coloring of the coating may give that impression.

Why does the bridge of the guitar make creaking sounds?

It is not uncommon for bridges to creak during the tuning process as there is tension being applied to this area of the guitar. Sometimes the noise may come from the strings, rubbing against the saddle, as some of the strings have ridges. The noise may even be originating at the other end of the guitar entirely, as the strings can make creaking noises when rubbing against the nut of the guitar too.

What is the difference between nylon and steel strings?

Nylon strings can be easier on your hands, especially as a beginner. They produce a soft sound. Steel strings can produce crisp sounds but can be harsh on your hands when you have not developed calluses from long-term playing. They are both great options and are up to personal preference.
