Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the guitar body and neck with a soft cloth to remove dust and oils. Avoid harsh cleaners.
• String Care: Clean the strings after every use to prevent buildup and corrosion. Change the strings regularly depending on usage.
• Maple Fingerboard Care: Clean the fretboard with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using fretboard oils on maple, as it can darken the wood over time.
• Pickups and Electronics: Keep the pickups and electronics free from moisture. Clean the knobs and switches with a dry cloth to maintain smooth operation.
• Cork Grease: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the tremolo system and nuts to prevent sticking and ensure smooth movement.
• Proper Storage: Store your guitar in its case when not in use to protect it from dust, temperature changes, and humidity.
