General Maintenance
Clean the instrument after each use, making sure to wipe the fi ngerboard and
strings, as well as any of the plated parts, (i.e. machine heads, pickups, etc.),
with a soft dry cloth.
To clean your gloss fi nish, use a high quality non-silicone based guitar polish
available through your Benedetto Dealer.
When not playing the instrument, keep it tuned to pitch and in its case.
However, if you plan to store the instrument for long periods of time, loosen
the strings slightly to relieve some of the tension on the neck.
The natural oils in ebony fi ngerboards may dry out over time and rough,
exposed fret edges are evidence of dry, shrunken wood. It is a good idea to
give your thirsty fretboard a drink of lemon oil periodically to preserve its
integrity and natural beauty.
Remove the strings fi rst; then apply the oil to a clean lint free cloth. Rub into
the wood, letting it soak in for a couple of minutes, and then wipe to dry
any excess oil.
