When properly cared for, your Peavey guitar will oer you years of pleasure.
Playing your guitar means that you will need to perform regular, general
maintenance, such as cleaning and proper storage, to keep it looking and
sounding great.

Every time you play your guitar, body oils and perspiration are transferred to the
body, back of the neck, headstock, ngerboards, strings, tuners, pickups and
bridge. After you nish performing, but before you put your guitar away, take a
moment to remove these contaminants.

Cleaning & Care

To clean and care for the major wood parts of your guitar (body, headstock or the back of the neck),
Peavey recommends that you use a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton or Peavey micro-fiber cloth and
specially formulated HP's Axe Wax available at www.peavey.com/accessories. Use of an inappropriate
rag or polish may result in scratching the finish of your instrument.

WARNING: Peavey recommends that you do not use abrasives or solvents on your instrument.

Properly caring for your ngerboard requires special attention. Over time, a ngerboard 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 ngerboard
(after removing strings) using a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth, taking care to remove excess oil
immediately. A little goes a long way! How do you know when it is time to reapply? 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 ngerboard to dry out and
shrink, the frets will “stand out” and feel rough to the touch.

Cleaning - Metal

To clean and lubricate the major metal parts

of your guitar (strings, pickups, bridge,

tuners), Peavey recommends that you use a

different clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth

and specially formulated guitar string cleaner

available at www.peavey.com/accessories.

Forming a cloth fold and running it up and down

the length of each string can quickly clean strings.

Failure to routinely clean and lubricate the metal

parts of your instrument, including strings, may

result in rusting.

WARNING: Peavey recommends that you do not use

abrasives or solvents on your instrument

Your guitar is a piece of art that must be protected.
When you are traveling with your instrument, loosen
the tuning knobs a turn or two to take pressure o
the neck, and protect it with a gig bag or case. While
a gig bag oers some protection, mainly from dust,
a hardshell case oers the best protection. If you
plan to store your guitar for a long period of time,
remember to slightly loosen your strings to
relieve pressure on the neck. As with any piece
of art, don’t throw it in your trunk and leave
it in -10° or 110° weather! Always keep you
guitar stored at room temperature, and
avoid extreme changes in temperature
or humidity.

Storage & Travel

Add-on products like stands, hangers and straps that are made of plastic,

rubber or man-made materials may chemically or physically react with and

damage the nish of your Peavey guitar. Peavey oers a full line of accessories

at www.peavey.com/accessories).

Every player needs a strap for peak performance, however, straps and strap buttons
are designed for “ordinary” use. If you anticipate “above ordinary” use, Peavey

recommends that you use Super Strap Locks to secure your strap to your guitar

(See Peavey accessories www.peavey.com/accessories).

REMEMBER: Peavey Care Kits oer the best value for your money.
