Peavey 141211105 - Manual (Page 4)


Properly caring for your fingerboard requires special attention. Over time, a fingerboard may lose its
natural oils and shrink or exhibit a worn or faded appearance. Peavey recommends that you periodically
apply a small amount of Lemon Oil (available at www.peavey.com/accessories) to your fingerboard
(after removing strings) using a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth, taking care to remove excess oil
immediately. A little goes a long way! How do you know when it is time to reapply? You can watch for a
change in the appearance of your wood, or set a routine calendar date. However, do not allow too much
time to pass as permanent damage may occur. If you allow the wood on the fingerboard to dry out and
shrink, the frets will “stand out” and feel rough to the touch. To clean and care for the major wood parts of your guitar
(body, headstock or the back of the neck), Peavey
recommends that you use a clean, soft, lint-free, dry
cotton cloth and specially formulated guitar polish
available at www.peavey.com/accessories. Use
of an inappropriate rag or polish may result in
scratching the finish of your instrument.
WARNING: Peavey recommends that you do not
use abrasives or solvents on your instrument.
