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 (after
removing strings) using a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth. Remove excess oil immediately using a
clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth. With Lemon Oil, like all oils, a little goes a long way. Make sure to
use only a small amount. How do you know when it is time to replenish your fingerboard? 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.
