Tremolo Bridge - Peavey Electronics Operating Manual

easy access torsion rod adjustment wheel located at the end
of the neck. This wheel can be adjusted with a hex wrench
or small screwdriver. Just insert the tool into the adjustment
wheel and rotate accordingly.
1. Tune the instrument to standard (A-440) pitch.
2. Fret the sixth string (E) at the first and last frets.
3. Check for clearance between the string and the
eighth fret.
4. Clearance should be no less than .005" and no
more than .015".
5. To increase clearance‚ loosen (counterclock-
wise) the torsion rod adjustment wheel. Less
clearance (straightening of the neck) is
accomplished by tightening (clockwise) the
torsion rod adjustment wheel.
6. Retune the instrument and repeat steps 1-5 until
proper clearance has been achieved.

Tremolo Bridge

The Peavey/Floyd Rose
system features a locking topnut, locking bridge saddles and
a steel bridge plate with a massive brass inertia block for
maximum tuning stability, sustain and tonal response. This
tremolo system has been carefully adjusted for accurate
intonation, playing ease and pitch change. To adjust this
unit properly, you must first understand the operating prin-
ciple. The strings are clamped at the locking topnut and
bridge areas, ensuring increased tuning stability during use.
Proper tremolo action is also a result of accurate balancing
between string tension and tremolo spring tension. This
instrument has been set up at the factory with high-quality
Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar strings. Should you desire a
larger or smaller gauge of strings, the spring tension, as well
as the intonation, must be adjusted. For string changes, and
in case an adjustment needs to be made, read the instruc-
tions carefully.
