CLEANING, STORAGE AND GENERAL CARE
CLEANING:
Periodic cleaning and polishing will help protect your Traveler Guitar. Use a polish formulated for musical instruments and
apply it according to the polish directions—or, you can wipe the guitar down with a clean, damp cloth followed quickly by a
clean, dry cloth. To clean residue off the fingerboard, you can use extra-fine steel wool to rub up and down the length of the
fingerboard over the top of the frets. Never use furniture polish on the guitar, as you may damage the finish.
STORAGE:
When not in use, your Traveler Guitar should be stored in its included gig bag to protect it from exposure to the elements.
Protect your guitar from extreme temperatures and changes in humidity. Never leave your Traveler Guitar in a closed
vehicle or any other location where the guitar will be exposed to extreme heat. If you live in a very dry climate, you may
want to use a guitar humidifier.
ADJUSTMENTS:
We recommend leaving complicated operations (such as truss rod adjustments) to a trained guitar technician. Improper
truss-rod adjustments may damage your guitar and void your warranty.
THE HANG STRAP:
The leather hang strap attached to your guitar’s endcap was designed to aid in-store display, but it can also be used to
hang your guitar from a wall mount or stand. Be sure your guitar is secure before walking away from it. If you wish, you
can remove the strap by clipping the plastic tie with wire cutters. Be careful not to scratch the finish on the neck or
endcap.
