GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Your ESP instrument is built to give you many years of satisfaction. Please keep in mind that keeping your

instrument functioning properly will require periodic care and maintenance. Follow the simple maintenance

guidelines outlined below to make sure your instrument continues playing properly and looking its best. Note:

Although your instrument has been inspected by our quality control team, ESP highly recommends that you

take your guitar to a qualiﬁed repair shop for an initial setup to be performed. As every player may have their

own setup preferences matched to their playing style, this will ensure that your guitar works best for you.

Cleaning

Cleaning your guitar regularly is one of the best ways to maintain the ﬁnish and prolong string life. Clean

your guitar after each use, making sure to wipe the ﬁngerboard and strings as well as any of the plated

parts such as tuners, pickups, bridge etc. Make sure to remove all perspiration, as it can lead to corrosion

and rusting in metal hardware and strings. We recommend that all metal bridge parts be thoroughly

cleaned and lubricated each time when changing strings to prevent corrosion and rusting caused by

perspiration. For gloss-ﬁnished surfaces, such as the body, back of neck, and headstock, we recommend

using any type of polish formulated speciﬁcally for musical instruments. Use lightly with a soft guitar

polishing cloth or cotton rag. Using any other type of cloth will most likely scratch the ﬁnish on your

instrument. Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaners! Note: To clean a satin ﬁnish, use a dry cloth

and simply wipe lightly to remove any dust or build-up.

Accessories

Be careful when using plastic, vinyl or synthetic leather guitar straps; guitar stands and wall hangers that use

surgical rubber tubing or any other accessories that may touch your instrument’s ﬁnish. These materials may

react with or cause damage to the ﬁnish on your Instrument. Before using any guitar strap with your guitar,

make sure the strap buttons and your strap are both secure when connected. A wooden guitar body can only

withstand so much force with the factory strap button screws and is intended for use under normal playing

conditions. If you intend to subject your guitar to more physical force than normal playing conditions, you

may want to use larger or longer screws. If you do decide to change your strap buttons or screws, make sure

the new buttons are installed correctly to avoid damaging your guitar (we suggest having a qualiﬁed repair

technician do this for you).

Note: Any damage as a result of strap button failure or damage that occurs from

changing your buttons will not be covered under the ESP limited lifetime warranty.

Fingerboards

Rosewood and ebony ﬁngerboards contain natural oils that may dry out over time. Sharp or protruding

fret edges as well as a lighter appearance in the color of the ﬁngerboard may be indications of dry wood.

In either case, you may restore the wood to its original luster and prevent It from drying out by applying

some lemon oil periodically. Remove all the strings, then apply a small amount of the oil to a clean lint-

free cloth. Rub the oil into the entire ﬁngerboard (only a small amount is needed). Wipe the ﬁngerboard

immediately to remove excess oil using a clean lint-free dry cloth.

Storage

When not playing your guitar, keep it in its case. If you don’t own a case, we strongly recommend

purchasing an ESP hardshell case or gig bag. Using a case will offer the best possible protection against

damage and will keep your instrument from gathering dust, which makes it harder to clean. Keep your

guitar tuned to pitch under normal playing and storage situations. If you plan to store your guitar for a

long period of time, or when traveling by air, loosen the strings to relieve some of the tension, but don’t

remove them (One or two turns of each tuning key will be plenty). Always store your guitar at room

temperature. Avoid exposing your guitar to any extremely hot, cold, damp, or dry conditions. NEVER leave

your guitar in a hot or cold car or trunk–This will most likely cause severe damage to your guitar! Note:

Damage to your instrument caused by neglecting or subjecting your instrument to extreme temperatures

will not be covered under the ESP limited lifetime warranty.

TUNING YOUR GUITAR

Tune your instrument using the tuning keys to raise or lower the pitch. Note: On a guitar with a locking

tremolo system, you must ﬁrst loosen the locking nut before you can adjust the tuning with the tuning

machines. Although locking tremolo systems have ﬁne tuners located on the bridge, they only allow

limited (ﬁne) tuning. Counter-clockwise rotation of the tuning keys will raise the pitch of the string while

clockwise rotation will lower the pitch of the string you are tuning. Tune your guitar starting with the

lowest to highest strings. After you have done this once, go back and double-check the tuning again.

On some instruments you will have to do this a few times, especially if the strings are new or you have

a guitar with a ﬂoating tremolo bridge. Tuning one string may affect the other strings and it is necessary

to recheck the tuning until all strings are staying at the desired pitch. Note: New strings tend to stretch

and detune until they settle. It is a good idea to stretch the strings when you have just put on a new set.

Do this after the initial tuning by bending notes and physically stretching each string by pulling away

from the ﬁngerboard (be careful no to pull too hard as you may break a string that way). After thoroughly

stretching the strings repeat the tuning process. Note: For standard guitar and bass tunings please refer

to the chart under factory string gauges.

STRINGS & TUNING MACHINES

We strongly recommend that you change your strings fairly often. If you play daily, we recommend that you

change your strings every 1 or 2 weeks. A new set of strings will sound clear and precise, while an old set will

sound dull and can produce unusual buzzing and dead notes. If you notice that your strings have become dirty,

discolored, or produce an unusual buzzing or dull sound, then it is deﬁnitely time to put a new set of strings on

your guitar. Always check your new strings and make sure they are smooth and free of defects before installing

them. If there are any irregularities, such as kinks, twists, or any other manufacturing defects, they will cause

buzzing and untrue notes as well as sound distortion. We recommend replacing one string at a time, so that

all the tension is not taken off of the neck. This will make it easier to re-tune and setup the neck. If your

guitar has a double-locking tremolo, please refer to the section on re-stringing those models.
