[. . . ] H PTM S P E C I A L GUITAR O P E R AT I N G GUIDE WARNINGs All amplification accessories, microphones, mixers, etc. , must be properly grounded and should be utilized with a 3-wire mains system in order to prevent electrical shock. Do not come into contact with other electrical apparatus when playing (or touching) your instrument. The metal parts of this instrument are grounded according to proper and accepted industry practice, but it is possible to encounter an electrical shock when coming into contact with another electrical apparatus if it has improper grounding facilities. Do not use improper or poorly designed guitar straps or other means of support. [. . . ] These should be made by your authorized Peavey dealer; but with a little care and by closely adhering to the following instructions, you may attempt these adjustments yourself. Please read the instructions thoroughly before attempting any adjustments. Torsion Rod (1) 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. Just insert the tool into the adjustment wheel and rotate accordingly. Check for clearance between the string and the eighth fret. 1 5 4. 5. 6. Clearance should be no less than . 005" and no more than . 015". 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. Retune the instrument and repeat steps 1-5 until proper clearance has been achieved. Tremolo Bridge 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 Peavey ElementsTM guitar strings. should you desire a larger or smaller gauge of strings, the spring tension, and intonation, must be adjusted. For string changes, and in case an adjustment needs to be made, please read the instructions carefully. string Retainer Bar (1) The string retainer bar is used to provide the proper amount of downward string pressure over the locking topnut. This should be adjusted only low enough to keep the strings in contact with the surface of the locking topnut, which will prevent the strings from going sharp in pitch after tightening the locking topnut. 1 2 Locking Topnut (2) (at headstock) With the supplied 3mm hex wrench, loosen the three locking topnut screws to allow the strings to pass through the string slots. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN sCREWs. 6 string Installation After loosening topnut screws (at headstock), use tuning machines to remove string tension. Loosen string lock bolts at bridge approximately three turns using the 3mm hex wrench. Cut off excess string length approximately one inch past string of lock bolts. Insert string end into bridge saddle (between saddle housing and lock block) and tighten until snug. Tighten locking topnut, stretch string once more and fine-tune to pitch. Tremolo Bridge Height Bridge height may be adjusted by means of the bridge pivot bolts. [. . . ] For optimum performance, strings should be changed approximately once a month, or after about every twentyfour hours of playing. some players prefer to change strings more often. 10 Finish Your instrument has a polyester/urethane protective finish that is both durable and weather resistant, but requires care.
