Bridge - Changing Your Strings

Changing strings on a Peavey guitar featuring an ACM Bridge is a simple task that will bring new life to

your instrument.

Tools Needed:

Wire cutters

Electronic tuner or pitch pipe (optional)

Note: Peavey recommends changing one string at a time to maintain proper tension on the neck and

bridge. Replace strings with the same gauges or you will need to make truss rod, spring tension, and

intonation adjustments as described in this manual.

First, detune the 6th string (the thickest, top string) using the machine head tuner—two or three turns

should remove the tension on the string. Remove the string from the tuning peg; at the other end of the

string, push the string back through the string saddle until the ball end of the string comes out the hole

in the back of the guitar. (You may wish to cut off the portion of the string previously wound around the

tuning peg to make this task easier.)
