Pickup Adjustment:
The volume level between pickups can be adjusted by
raising or lowering each pickup with its height adjusting
screws. Raising the pickups closer to the strings will
increase the output and volume. Lowering the pickups away
from the strings will decrease output and volume.
Adjustments:
Your instrument has been carefully adjusted for accu-
rate intonation and playing ease at the Peavey factory.
However, your playing
style or playing requirements may
necessitate additional adjustments at some time in the
future. These adjustments should be made by your Peavey
Dealer. However, with a little care and by adhering closely
to the following instructions, you may attempt these
adjustments yourself.
CAUTION:
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUC-
TIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
'Adjusting Torsion Rod:
All guitar necks must have a slight amount of bow to
keep the strings from buzzing on the frets. To set the
"straightness" of the neck, a Peavey torsion rod wrench
No. 75031006 must be used (available from a Peavey
Accessory Center)
4. 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 .012" and no more
than 025".
5. To increase clearance, loosen (counterclockwise) the
torsion rod nut. Less clearance (straightening of the
neck} is accomplished by tightening the nut.
CAUTION
IT IS NOT USUALLY NECESSARY TO ROTATE
THE TORSION ROD NUT MORE THAN ONE FULL
TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. ONE-QUARTER TO
ONE-HALF TURN IS NORMALLY SUFFICIENT TO
MAKE MOST ADJUSTMENTS. EXCESSIVE ROTA-
TION MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO NECK AND
TORSION ROD. IF EXCESSIVE FORCE IS NECES-
SARY TO ROTATE TORSION ROD NUT, YOU
SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PEAVEY DEALER OR
THE FACTORY BEFORE ANY FURTHER ADJUST-
MENT IS MADE.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 until proper clearance has
been reached
Neck Tilt:
The neck tilt adjustment works in conjunction with the
bridge height adjustment to set the overall string playing
height. This adjustment should be used whenever pos-
sible to set string height rather than the bridge height
adjustment
1, Relieve string tension slightly by detuning guitar
(approximately 1 to 2 full steps).
2. Loosen two neck screws (closest to headstock of
guitar) approximately 1 turn.
3. Loosen remaining twoneck serows (closestto bridge)
approximately 2 turns.
4. String height may now be adjusted with the neck tilt
screw which is located inside
the fifth hole in the neck
plate. A 1%" allen wrench is used to make this adjust-
ment. Turning the screw clockwise lowers the strings
closer to the fingerboard. String height should be
adjusted to fit your own particular playing style. It
should be noted that setting the string height too low
will result in excessive string buzz and rattle, espe-
cially with a "heavy" playing technique. Excessively
high ection will
result in intonation problems and
decreased playability,
5. After adjustment, securely tighten all four neck at-
taching screws.
6. Tune guitar to standard pitch. Check strings for
correct height and playability. If necessary, repeat
steps 1 through 5 until action is correct
Bridge Angle Adjustmer
The angle of the tremolo bridge is set by the screws
holding the spring claw in place. To gain access to the
spring claw and spring claw screws, remove the
spring cover on the back of the guitar.
Turn the tension screws clockwise to decrease the
bridge angle. Turn the tension screws counterclock-
wise to increase the bridge angle.
The recommended bridge angle, measured trom
the surface of the body, is 2° to 5°.
Bridge Height Adjustment:
Bridge height may be adjusted by means of the
bridge pivot bolts. Turn the pivot bolts clockwise to
reduce bridge height. Turn the pivot bolts counter-
clockwise to increase bridge height,
NOTE:
CORRECT BRIDGE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT |S
NECESSARY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION
OF THE TREMOLO SYSTEN. INCORRECT ADJUST-
MENT WILL CAUSE TREMOLO SYSTEM MAL-
FUNCTION. IT IS THEREFORE HIGHLY RECOM-
MENDED THAT ALL STRING HEIGHT AND AC-
TION ADJUSTMENTS BE MADE BY MEANS OF
THE NECK TILT ADJUSTMENT FEATURE, AND
THAT THE BRIDGE HEIGHT NOT BE CHANGED
FROM ITS FACTORY SETTING.
