Q: When do I need new strings?
A: Some people change strings once a month, a few days before a show, or when they break a string. I recommend new strings and a tune up every 3 months for active musicians, and when strings begin to break for recreational players.
Q: When should I adjust my guitar's intonation?
A: The intonation of your guitar will most certainly need attention if:
- It has not been adjusted in over a year.
- You have switched to strings of a heavier or lighter gauge.
- You have adjusted the truss rod.
- You are experiencing tuning problems.
Q: What is the truss rod?
A: The truss rod is a metal rod that runs through the neck of most guitars. It keeps the wooden guitar neck from bowing. Adjustments can be made to the truss rod to make your guitar easier to play over all.
Q: How long does it take?
A: Most instruments can be repaired the same day. Severe neck corrections may need as long as a week to settle.
Q: Can I do it myself?
A: I really wouldn't recommend it. At the very least you wouldn't fix it and at the very worst you could screw up your guitar or crack the neck if you don't know what you're doing.
