Factory settings place pickups at the same volume level; 

however many players change the height of one or more neck 

or bridge pickups to create their own output levels. Should 

you choose to alter the height of a pickup, remember that it is 

magnetic. To keep your factory warranty intact, Peavey suggests 

you take your guitar to an Authorized Peavey Service Center to 

have the pickup adjustments made.
