Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your TOD70 in top condition, regularly check the relief of the roasted maple neck. Roasted maple is highly stable, but environmental changes may still necessitate minor truss rod adjustments. Use a dedicated 9V battery for the active pickup system, and ensure you unplug the instrument when not in use to prolong battery life. For cleaning, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth on the body and hardware. Since the frets are stainless steel, they require very little maintenance but benefit from occasional polishing if they lose their luster. Always use a gig bag or hard case that specifically accommodates the 7-string scale length and headstock profile.
