Raising the pickups closer to the strings will increase the output and volume. Lowering the pickups will similarly decrease output and volume. When making these adjustments, be sure to maintain adequate clearance between the pickups and strings. Improper adjustment could result in loss or sustain and possible string buzzing. The manner in which you adjust the height of your pickups will greatly affect your tone and output levels. Experiment with different settings until you get the sound you want. You'll be surprised at how much tonal variance can be achieved with a simple pickup adjustment. Neck Tilt The neck tilt adjustment works in conjunction with the bridge height adjustment to set the overall string playing height. 1. Relieve string tension slightly by de-tuning the guitar (approximately 1-2 whole steps). 2. Loosen two neck screws (closest to the headstock of the guitar) approximately 1 turn. 3. Loosen two remaining neck screws (closest to the 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 1/8" Allen wrench is used to make the adjustment. Turning the screw clockwise lowers the strings closer to the fretboard. String height should be adjusted to fit your particular playing style. It should be noted that setting the string height loo low will result in excessive string buzz and rattle, especially with a "heavier" playing technique. Excessively high action will result in intonation problems and decreased playability. 5. After adjustment, securely tighten all four neck screws. 6. Retune your guitar to standard pitch. Check strings for correct height and playability. If necessary, repeat steps 1-5 until the action is set properly for your playing style. Tremolo Bridge The Power Bend III™ Tremolo features a steel bridge plate with a massive inertia block for maximum sustain. The Graph Tech® String Saver™ saddles are specially designed to minimize friction and offer maximum durability and freedom from wear. Adjustable springs allow easy operation with accurate return to pitch. The special design of our Power Bend III Tremolo allows strings to be pulled above or below pitch while providing a smooth and responsive action. Your Iremolo has been carefully adjusted for accurate intonation, playing ease and pitch change. To adjust your Power Bend III Tremolo unit properly, you must first understand the operating principle. Your instrument has been supplied from the factory with high-quality Peavey nickel-wound 9s and set up accordingly. Should a larger or smaller gauge of strings be required, the bridge height, tremolo spring tension in the back of the guitar and the intonation must be adjusted accordingly. Please read the following instructions carefully. Bridge/String Height A flat blade screwdriver is used to adjust the overall bridge height by means of the two bridge pivot bolts. The individual string saddles can be adjusted to follow the curvature of the fingerboard by using the supplk d .050" Allen wrench. Tightening (clockwise) lowers height; loosening (counterclockwise) increase height. Bridge Balance The balance of the tremolo bridge is set by adjusting the tension 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. Proper tremolo balance is achieved when the bottom of the tremolo bridge plate is parallel to the top surface of the guitar body. Turn the tension screws clockwise to decrease the bridge angle and counterclockwise to increase the bridge angle. CAUTION: Loosen all string tension before installing or removing the tremolo tension springs. Tremolo tension springs are designed for high tension. Extreme care should be taken when installing and removing these springs. T^is instrument should be tuned to proper pitch (A-440) - before and after making adjustments. All adjustments closely interact with string tension. These adjustments need to be made to set string intonation at the bridge. If you are unfamiliar with this type of adjustment, we strongly recommend that this setting be performed by your authorized Peavey dealer. String Intonation Accurate string intonation settings ensure that your instrument will play in tune at any point on the neck. Although "perfect intonation" is an impossibility with a fretted instrument, the proper adjustments will maximize the accuracy of individual notes up and down the neck. Intonation is set by comparing the pitch of an open string to the pitch of the same string when played one octave higher at the 12th fret. The actual "vibrating length" of that string is varied until the notes are both at the correct pitch. The vibrating length of the string is altered by adjusting the individual saddles either forward or backward, depending on whether the fretted note is sharper or flatter in pitch than the open note. ê Note This process should alway...
