Tremolo Bridge

The Peavey/Floyd Rose

®

licensed, double-locking tremolo

system features a locking topnut, locking bridge saddles and
a steel bridge plate with a massive brass inertia block for
maximum tuning stability, sustain and tonal response. This
tremolo system has been carefully adjusted for accurate
intonation, playing ease and pitch change. To adjust this
unit properly, you must first understand the operating prin-
ciple. The strings are clamped at the locking topnut and
bridge areas, ensuring increased tuning stability during use.

Proper tremolo action is also a result of accurate balancing
between string tension and tremolo spring tension. This
instrument has been set up at the factory with high-quality
Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar strings. Should you desire a
larger or smaller gauge of strings, the spring tension, as well
as the intonation, must be adjusted. For string changes, and
in case an adjustment needs to be made, read the instruc-
tions carefully.

String Retainer Bar (

)

The string retainer bar is used to
provide the proper amount of down-
ward string pressure over the lock-
ing topnut. This should be adjusted
only low enough to keep the strings
in contact with the surface of the
locking topnut, which will prevent
the strings from going sharp in pitch
after tightening the locking topnut.
