Want to cure those summertime acoustic-guitar blues? Here's how to take care of your strings

Warm weather is (finally) upon us, but be careful not to get those summertime acoustic-guitar blues by putting poor-performance strings on your instrument.

We all know that the higher the temperature and humidity, the more you sweat. And the more you sweat, the more perspiration winds up on your guitar, and your strings.

How to combat this? For starters, get yourself a great set of acoustic guitar strings. And for this, look no further than Elixir Strings, which hold up incredibly well to heat and humidity. 

Elixir Strings feature numerous innovative design features that will keep you strumming all summer long.

First off, they’re corrosion resistant, with featherweight coatings and anti-rust plating that protect against tone-killing debris and stand up to sweaty hands and humidity.

What’s more, Elixir Strings are designed to withstand wildly fluctuating temperatures for reliable performance, every time. Playing in dry desert heat one day and oppressive heat and humidity another? No problem, as long as you’re equipped with Elixir Strings.

Finally, Elixir Strings offer great tuning stability as well as long-lasting tone – in fact the longest-lasting, when compared to any string, coated or uncoated.

And while great tone and performance starts with your Elixir Strings, it continues with proper string care, including wiping down strings with a dry cloth after you play to remove loose debris or moisture, and checking your fretboard for gunk buildup that can collect on the underside of your strings.

And always remember during these hot summer months to use a humidity detector and not to leave your instrument in a car or other warm environment.

So what are you waiting for? Sun's out, grab your Elixir Strings and get ready to rock!
