Strin gs Old strings produce dull, buzzing or dead notes, while a new set of strings ring clear and true. If you play often, you will need to change your strings often. A good rule of thumb is that if you play daily , you should change strings ev ery two or three weeks.
Chan ging Y our Strings 12 Unless you are r econditioning your fretboard (see car e and cleaning), strings should be changed one at a time to main- tain proper neck tension. New strings should be free of de- fects (twists, kinks, bends) that can cause sound irregularities or breakage.
A C M® Bridge - Changin g Y our Strin gs Changing strings on a Peav ey guitar featuring an ACM Bridge is a simple task that will bring new life to your instrument. T ools Needed: Wire cutters Electronic tuner or pitch pipe (optional) Note: Peav ey recommends changing one string at a time to maintain proper tension on the neck and bridge.
A C M® Bridge - Changin g Y our Strin gs Insert a new string through the hole in the back of the guitar and pull through until the ball end of the string rests tightly against the underside of the bridge. Thread the other string end across the string saddle, acr oss the nut and into the small hole in the cor - responding machine head tuning post.
Double L ock ing T remolo - Changin g Y our Strin gs The Peav ey double-locking tremolo system allows for pushing and pulling because the tremolo does not rest on the instrument body .
Double L ock ing T remolo - Changin g Y our Strin gs First, detune the 6th string (the thickest, top string) using the machine head tuner—two or three turns should remo ve the tension on the string. Then, using a mm Allen wrench, unlock the corresponding string clamp located at the nut.
Double L ock ing T remolo - Changin g Y our Strin gs Thread the other string end under the nut and into the small hole in the corresponding machine head tuning post.
T une-O-Mat ic™/Stop T ailpiec e - C hangin g Y our Strin gs T o replace strings, thread the new strings through the string holes located on the back of the tailpiece and bring them up and ov er the saddle.
T unin g Mac hine Adjus tments Over time, tuners can become loose. Get in the habit of checking the tension with ev ery string change. If you notice a change in the tension of a tuner , use a small athead or Phillips screw driver to tighten it (turn clockwise) or loosen it (turn counterclockwise) accordingly .

Intonat ion A properly intoned guitar will sound in tune no matter where you play along the fretboar d. Into- nation is determined by the length of each string as controlled by the location of each string’ s saddle. T o check intonation, complete all adjustments to the truss rod and string action, and tune your guitar .
