    Cold temperature can potentially harm an electric guitar in a few ways. One of the most immediate concerns is that the cold can cause the strings to become brittle and more prone to breaking. Lower temperatures may also cause the guitar’s wood to dry out and crack over time. Furthermore, if the guitar is brought into a warm environment quickly after being in the cold, condensation can form, which might lead to wood rot or corrosion of the metal parts. To protect your guitar from these issues, it’s best to store it in a controlled environment with consistent temperature and humidity.
