Cleaning - Fingerboard
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 (af-
ter removing strings) using a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth, taking the 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.
