7) Tips for Body, Neck and Fingerboard Care
Tips for Body Care
Colored Oil Finish / Natural Satin Finish:
A matte and transparent surface with visible wood structure
and accentuated grain are the essential characteristic of the
Colored Oil / Natural Satin Finish. Here the surface is either
color stained (Colored Oil Finish) or the wood stays natural
and sealed with a thin layer of clear satin matte lacquer
(Natural Satin Finish). This sealed and non-colored finish
does not need special care. If the surface gets dirty it should
be wiped with a damp cloth or with one of the many non-
abrasive spray cleaners available in selected stores or spe-
cialty shops.
High Polish Finish:
A High Polish Finish is produced with the use of a high polish lacquer. The wood is completely sealed under the finish; the sur-
face is as smooth as glass and without noticeable wood grain structure. As with Colored Oil/Natural Satin Finish, care is limited
to the visual aspects. You can wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or with the correspondingly suited spray cleaners, or you
can use polish that reinstates the full shine of the finish and can also get rid of small scratches and typical traces of playing.
Tips for Neck Care
All Warwick Pro Series and Warwick Artist Series necks are sealed with Natural Satin Finish. The care procedure thus is the same
as with Coloured Oil/Natural Satin finished bodies.
Tips for Fingerboard Care
All fingerboards that come standard with Warwick Pro Series and Warwick Artist Series basses are not lacquered and thus requi-
re a little maintenance once in a while to avoid getting rough or dull.
To clean and protect the fingerboard use products specially made for this purpose and that are available at selected stores or spe-
cialist shops. Please refer to the manufacturer’s product information to achieve the desired result.
