A Note About Guitar Servicing
Regular maintenance and care are essential to keeping your guitar in optimal working order, ensuring it performs at its best for years to come. Over time, even with gentle use, guitars can experience wear that affects their playability and sound, such as neck adjustments, string height, or intonation issues. A proper guitar setup can make a huge difference in comfort and tone, but it's a subjective process that varies depending on your playing style and preferences. At Jow Music, we work closely with you to customize the setup, whether it’s adjusting the action, tweaking the pickups, or fine-tuning the overall feel of the instrument. Our goal is to help you achieve the perfect playing experience, tailored to your needs and playing style.
In addition to regular care, environmental factors like humidity, heat, and cold can have a significant impact on your guitar's performance and longevity. Guitars are sensitive to these conditions, which can cause wood to expand, contract, or even crack. Extreme temperatures or high humidity can affect the neck, body, and finish of your instrument, leading to warped necks, fret buzz, or diminished tonal quality. Storing your guitar in a controlled environment, such as in a case or room with moderate temperature and humidity, is crucial to preserving its structure and sound.
