Once a year is good pending on your guitar. The constant strain on the guitar neck should be monitored. Even if you take your strings off, then the truss rod has no restraints and the neck will still warp. If you change your string gauges, you should have it set up each time that changes. Other than that, don't leave it next to the furnace vents, drafty windows, in water or out in the sun. You can always tell if it's too humid or too dry. If you're too humid, then your guitar is too humid. If you're dry, (winter) than your guitar is dry. It's wood. It wants to maintain a certain amount of moisture content, but too damp will warp it.
You kind of have to abuse it to break it. Most people who have problems, smoke around their guitars causing stains and electrical problems, or get wasted and get careless. Yoink cables out of the jacks or bang it into surroundings. Treat it with care and you should get 20 years easy.
well this guitar is already 17 years old so yea
i will treat it a lot better than my 100$ electric i got a hard case for it.
if it does warp i should bring it to a technician to fix'?
