Steel Guitar Lubrication
 
   

Lubrication is an IMPORTANT part of steel guitar maintenance.

Your steel guitar is a musical instrument containing a mechanical system for operation. The mechanical system typically consists of various metals and plastics.

Lubrication is used to ensure that the parts move freely and that metal- to-metal wear from movement is minimized as much as possible. Moving freely means that the pedals, knee levers, and strings all move to their intended pitch. Minimization of metal-to-metal wear means that your steel guitar will last longer and maintain its playability and accuracy over time.

Recommended materials and methods are covered, and their use is demonstrated.
