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.

Intonat ion A properly intoned guitar will sound in tune no matter where you play along the fretboar d.
