9) Tips for Body, Neck and
Fingerboard Care
Colored Oil Finish / Satin Finish
(body & neck):
A matte and transparent surface with visible
wood structure and accentuated grain are the
essential characteristics of the Colored Oil /
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 (Satin Finish). This sealed
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 specialist 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 surface is as smooth as glass and without noticeable
wood grain structure. As with Colored Oil Finish, care is limited to the visual aspects. 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, removing small scratches and typical
traces of playing.
Tips for Neck Care:
Use our Warwick Beeswax for all necks treated with Natural Oil Finish. Apply the beeswax
with a polishing cloth using circular movements. After applying wait 2 to 3 minutes and then
remove the excess with a dry polishing cloth. The beeswax should be applied a minimum of
two times per year. If the instrument is played frequently, shorter waxing periods may be
necessary. A more frequent application of beeswax will keep your instrument looking great,
as it ages over time. After playing clean the neck surface and fingerboard regularly with a dry
polishing cloth.
Tips for Fingerboard Care:
All fingerboards that come standard with Warwick basses are not lacquered and thus require
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 specialist shops. Please refer to the manufacturer's product information to achieve
the desired result. You can use the Warwick Beeswax for your fingerboard's maintenance,
too.
