CARE AND MAINTENANCE
A little effort will keep your new VOX guitar looking great for years
to come. When you finish playing, wipe the guitar down with a clean,
soft cloth. Use a quality guitar polish occasionally, following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Protect your instrument from temperature extremes and sudden chang-
es in temperature. A guitar left in a hot trunk of a car at full string ten-
sion can literally pull itself apart. A sudden blast of warm air on a cold
guitar can crack the finish.
Your VOX guitar will sound best with fresh strings. Luckily, string
changes are easy. Clip (or unwind) and remove the old string, and load
the new one through the rear of the bridge. As you wind the string
around the tuner post, keep in mind that the top wind should be over
the free end, while the rest should be under. String tension will pull
these winds together, clamping the free string end for better tuning
stability. You need a 2 or 3 winds to secure the wound strings, and 4 or
5 for the plain strings.
