I was wondering if you would need a humidifier as well since it is hollow/semi hollow? I was thinking more towards an acoustic guitar but wouldn't the electric benefit from a humidifier as well? I know the wood is thicker but I am sure the inside is not sealed. Just thought I would throw that out there.

I will check with the guys at the factory to see what care is needed to
clean/preserve this body wood.
Stay tuned.
The natural satin on the Equatorial Mahogany models starts with 2 coats of
Watco Natural Oil and then a top coat of the same clear satin finish used on the neck.
There should be very little, if any maintenance to do over the long-term with these
instrument. I would suggest not using an oil on the body since the clear satin will
not allow the oil to penetrate the wood and you could end up with any oil sitting on
the surface. The surface of the finish will prove to be very durable.
