Lubricating an MSA Studio Pro

Sylvan Williams · From: Asheville, North Carolina, USA

I have my Zoom Spout oiler and tube of Super Lube ready to refresh the lubrication on my Studio Pro

The instructions from MSA state "Lube all moving parts with a couple drops of oil every three months"

Looking closely at the changer, it appears there are flat o-rings between each changer plate. If they're Delrin or UHMW plastic, do I need to apply oil between the changer plates? My guess is 'Yes,' but I want to make sure I get it right

Any other tips around properly lubricating one of these guitars also appreciated!

Thanks,

Sylvan

My first MSA Legend was pretty bound up after a few hours of playing so I hit it up with Tri-Flow and it played like butter. My second MSA Legend came well lubed and I haven't oiled it in over a year.

Here's my process:

Thanks, Greg. I did pull up your guide earlier which I'll definitely refer to (and thank you!) but what I'm wondering about specifically are the very thin plastic washers between the changer plates. I'm not sure what they're made of and if it's needed or safe to oil those locations. Maybe they're there in your photos of your changer but I can't see them if they are - maybe it's a subtle difference between the Legend and the Studio Pro?
