Torsion Rod (5)
All guitar necks have a slight amount of bow to keep the strings from "buzzing" on the frets.
This instrument features an 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 (counterclockwise) 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 (6)
The Peavey/Floyd Rose® licensed, double-locking
tremolo 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 principle. 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 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
instructions carefully.
String Retainer Bar (7)
With the supplied wrench, loosen the three locking topnut
screws (7a) to allow the strings to pass through the string slots.
Tune to pitch and tighten locking topnut screws until snug.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS.
String Installation
After loosening topnut screws (at headstock), use tuning
machines to remove string tension. Loosen string lock bolts
