Keep your guitar accessories ready
Check compatibility with your instrument before using a capo, strap or string-change tool.
Check the contact points
Keep capo pads clean and inspect strap ends before attaching them to the instrument.
Adjust gently
Use light, controlled pressure when fitting a capo. Check the tuning again after placement.
Take care with string changes
Follow the instrument maker’s restringing instructions and release tension carefully.
Keep small items together
Use a pick holder for spare picks. Store cloths dry and separate from dusty tools.
