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 system allows strings to be pulled above or below pitch and the action of this tremolo is smooth and responsive. Should a larger or smaller gauge set of strings be required, the tremolo spring tension in the back of the guitar and the intonation must be adjusted accordingly. Saddle Height This instrument features individual bridge saddles which determine the overall string height. Individual string saddles can be adjusted to follow the curvature of the neck. Use the supplied hex wrench to make the adjustment for each string. 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 of the 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 tension springs. Tremolo springs are designed for high tension. Extreme care should be taken when installing and removing these springs. Note: This instrument should be tuned to proper pitch (A-440) before and after making adjustments. Note: All adjustments closely interact with string intonation. These adjustments must be completed before any attempt is 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 at 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 12* fret. The actual "vibrating length" of that string is varied until the notes are both at the right 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. Note: This process should always be performed with new strings. Intonation problems can often result from worn strings. It is often difficult for the untrained ear to determine when the open note and the fretted note are at precisely the same pitch. Some players find that comparing the 12th-fret harmonic of the string (rather than the open note) to the fretted note is much easier. A harmonic is played by plucking the string with the right hand while touching the string with the left index finger (as lightly as possible) directly above the 12th fret. The left finger is drawn away as quickly as possible after the string is plucked, producing a "chime" effect. This chimed note is then compared to the fretted note. For greater ease and accuracy, we recommend one of the many types of electronic guitar tuners that are available from most music stores. 1. Ensure that the torsion-rod and string-height settings are accurate and the strings are new. 2. Tune the instrument to standard (A-440) pitch. 3. Hold the instrument in a normal playing position or place the guitar on a clean, flat surface so that the body is in contact with the work surface. Any pressure on the neck will affect intonation settings. 4. Play the first (E) string open and compare it to the pitch of the same string when it is played at the 12,h fret. These notes should sound the same (actually, there is an octave difference). 5. Using the supplied hex wrench, adjust the string saddle so that both the fretted and open notes are the same. If the fretted note is sharper than the open note, the vibrating length of the string must be increased. «Move the bridge saddle to the rear-away from the pickups. If the fretted note is flat, the vibrating length must be shortened. Move the bridge saddle forward-toward the pickups-to shorten the length. Note: It will often be necessary to retune the open string to standard pitch after the bridge position is altered. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 as necessary until the intonation of all the strings is accurately adjusted. Care for your instrument This is a high-quality musical instrument constructed from the finest materials, using the most up-to-date production methods. With reasonable care, it should provide many years of service and outstanding playability. Temperature and Humidity It is important to...
