The main factor by which all instruments suffer is basically the guitar action. Now the guitar action basically determines how high up the strings are actually from the fret board. The action of a guitar can guitar can get affected by several factors. One of the most common of them being humidity, some of you must have noticed during the summer time the strings on the guitar tend to rise up from the fret board. The humidity basically affects the wood part of the guitar and moreover lack of humidity can also result in swelling of the wood of the guitar. Therefore it is imperative to maintain a balance between the two. When a guitar is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time then it is best kept or rather preserved when the strings are in fact loosened. There is an enormous amount of tension from the bridge of the guitar stretching across the fret board towards the neck caused by the string itself. This tension would be reduced once we try and loosen the string a bit. Needless to say when the guitar is not being played it is best kept inside. If you feel that your guitar action is kind of high and you're experiencing difficulty playing then i would advise you to visit a local guitar repair shop which would be happy to oblige you. Once your action is repaired you must take care of the instrument thereafter to prevent the same from the happening again.
