Introduction Thank you for buying a Peavey guitar. You'll find that our guitars are designed and built by the finest craftsmen and are made from the finest materials available. As with all of our musical equipment, we have built our guitars using a combination of leading-edge technology and traditional hand-crafted methods. Ask your Peavey dealer for a full list of Peavey musical equipment and accessories.

This instrument features our polyester/urethane finish, which is mar- and weather-resistant. Neck The select rock maple neck is crafted to provide unmatched rigidity and freedom from wrarpage. Additional reinforcement is provided with a steel torsion rod. The adjustable torsion rod features rolled threads tor improved strength and freedom from breakage. (See Adjustment-Torsion Rod, for adjustment instructions.) Pickups The two high-output humbucking pickups are tuned for maximum tonal response, as well as fully shielded and wax-dipped for ultra-low noise operation and resistance to microphonic feedback. Controls Volume The volume knob controls the total signal delivered from both pickups. Rotating clockwise will increase volume; rotating counterclockwise will reduce volume. Tone Rotating clockwise will result in more treble (higher frequencies) and a brighter tonality; rotating counterclockwise will result in less treble and a "bassier" sound Pickup-selector switch This five-position switch allows selection of pickups in various combinations. The selection possibilities are as follows: 1. (toward neck) neck pickup = dual-coil, humbucking 2. (one click forward) neck pickup = single-coil, hum-reducing 3. (center) both pickups = dual-coil, humbucking 4. (one click back) both pickups = single-coil, hum-cancelling 5. (toward bridge) bridge pickup = dual-coil, humbucking Output jack The output jack accepts standard guitar patch cords. (We recommend high-quality Peavey "shielded" patch cords.) Adjustments Your instrument has been carefully adjusted for accurate intonation and playing ease at the Peavey factory. However, your playing style and requirements may necessitate additional adjustments. These adjustments should be made by your authorized Peavey dealer; however, 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. Pickups The volume level between pickups can be adjusted by raising or lowering each pickup with its height-adjusting screws (see Figure 2). 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 of 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. Torsion Rod All guitar necks have a slight amount of bow to keep the strings from "buzzing" on the frets. To set the "straightness" of the neck, a Peavey torsion-rod wrench (part no. 75031006) should be used (available from a Peavey accessory center). 1. Tune the instrument to standard (A-440) pitch. 2. Fret the sixth string (E) at the first ...
