5. Using a 2.5mm hex wrench for the tremolo or mini blade
style screwdriver for the string-thru, adjust the
string saddle so that both the fretted and open notes
are the same. If the fretted note is sharper than the
open note, the vibrating length of the string must be
increased. Move the bridge saddle to the rear, away
from the pickups. If the fretted note is flat, the vibrat-
ing length must be shortened. Move the bridge saddle
forward, toward the pickups to shorten the length.
It will often be necessary to retune the open
string to standard pitch after the bridge
position is altered.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 until the intonation of all the strings
is accurately adjusted.

It is important to protect your instrument from any extreme

store the instrument in its case when not using it.
strings
Your instrument is equipped with high-quality Peavey®
Elements™ strings. string life may be greatly extended by fre-
quent cleanings with string cleaner. Dirt and perspiration
tend to build up on the underside of the strings, so it is often
necessary to slide a rag between the strings and the finger-
board. Dirt-laden strings cause tuning and intonation prob-
lems, as well as rust and corrosion.
For optimum performance, strings should be changed
approximately once a month, or after about every twenty-
four hours of playing. some players prefer to change strings
more often.
