djustments

Your instrument has been carefully adjusted at the Peavey 

factory for accurate intonation and playing ease. However, 

your playing style and requirements may necessitate addi-

tional adjustments. These should be made by your autho-

rized 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

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 adjust-

ment 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.
