Congratulations
So, you are the owner of a new Peavey Electric Guitar. Congratulations! Your
purchase proves your taste in musical instruments is superb. Peavey offers a wide va-
riety of guitars for beginners to professionals, each with unique qualities and features.
While our professional luthiers have carefully inspected your guitar, every model re-
quires some initial set up, and periodic maintenance is required for peak performance.
To ensure proper care of your quality instrument, visit www.peavey.com/accessories
for Peavey-recommended accessories, parts and cleaning supplies.


Cleaning & Care
When properly cared for, your Peavey guitar will offer you years of pleasure.
Playing your guitar means that you will need to perform regular, general main-
tenance, 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.

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 cloth and specially for-
mulated guitar polish available at www.peavey.com/acces-
sories. Use of an inappropriate rag or polish may result
in scratching the nish of your instrument.
WARNING: Peavey recommends that you do not
use abrasives or solvents on your instrument.
Cleaning - Wood


Cleaning - Fingerboard
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 immedi-
ately. 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/accesso-
ries. 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


Storage & Travel
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 off the neck, and protect
it with a gig bag or case. While a gig bag offers
some protection, mainly from dust, a hardshell
case offers the best protection. If you plan to
store your guitar for a long period of time (we
don’t know why you would want to), remember
to slightly loosen your strings to relieve pres-
sure 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.

Accessories
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 offers 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 recom-
mends that you use Super Strap Locks to secure your strap to your guitar
(See Peavey accessories www.peavey.com/accessories).
REMEMBER: Peavey Care Kits offer the best value for your
money. Visit www.peavey.com/accessories, locate the
order form in the back of this manual, or
