Just got a new Elite T an I'm super pleased with it. I've never owned a guitar with ebony (always rosewood). Any special stuff I should slather on to keep it nice?
Thanks

Tried searching the archives for this but did not find anything.

Boiled lindseed oil works well. If you cna't get that Warwick has a can of beeswax stuff that they rub all over their basses, must be a german thing. It works wonders on the wood Get a can of that and wipe the fingerboard eachtime you change strings, let it soalk in a little and wipe it off before the new ones go on. The important thing is to keep it from drying out and cracking.
Good luck.

Thanks for the tips. First thing I noticed about Elite is the ebony seemed very dry.
I'll try one of your suggestions on the fretboard. Can I or rather should I do the same for the ebony bridge? It's dry as a bone.
