As the weather is changing, so is your guitar!

As the weather shifts from warm to cool, it’s not just us who feel the change – your guitar feels it too! At Sims Music, we know that with the temperature and humidity fluctuations, guitars can experience a range of effects. Necks can bow, action can change, fretboards can dry out, and even the tuning can become a little wobbly. Now is the perfect time to bring in your instrument for a check-up to keep it in peak playing condition.

When the air dries out or temperatures fluctuate, the wood in your guitar expands and contracts. This can cause subtle shifts in your guitar’s neck, fretboard, and body that affect playability and sound. Our expert techs at Sims Music are equipped to identify any tweaks that could help bring your guitar back to its best. Whether you need a minor truss rod adjustment, a new set of strings, or a full setup, we’re here to help your guitar feel and play its best.

Even if your guitar has been playing well all year, a seasonal check can reveal small issues before they become bigger problems. Regular adjustments, like a fresh setup or some fretboard conditioning, can make a world of difference in how your guitar plays, giving you smoother action and a better overall feel. If you’ve ever felt like something’s “off” with your instrument – now’s the time to bring it in!

We’re excited to help keep your guitar performing beautifully, no matter the season. So, drop by Sims Music and let us take a look. We’ll make sure your guitar’s ready to tackle anything, from cozy indoor jams to full-on winter gigs! Visit the repair page on our site to learn more about the services we offer, and we look forward to seeing you (and your guitar) soon!
