CAUTION : Loosen all string tension before installing
or removing tension springs. Tremolo springs are designed for high
tension. Extreme care should be taken when installing and removing
these springs.
Tremolo Arm
The tremolo arm is inserted and screwed into the tremolo
arm socket on the bridge plate. This assembly can be adjust-
ed to control the amount of torque required to rotate the
tremolo arm. some players prefer the tremolo arm to stay in
place when used. This can be accomplished by using the sup-
plied 12mm wrench to hold the top of the tremolo arm sock-
et while screwing the tremolo arm firmly into place.
If you prefer to have the tremolo arm swing freely, loosen the
nut on the bottom of the tremolo arm socket. This is accessi-
ble through the tremolo spring pocket.
Lok Block™
For HP specials equipped with the
Floyd Rose licensed tremolo, we
have included another Peavey inno-
vation called the Lok Block. By
loosening the screws (#1 & 2 at left)
with the included hex wrench and
sliding the Block back and forth,
you can choose between a floating
style tremolo or a more traditional
tremolo that only has downward
movement. With the Lok Block, you
can choose for yourself!
string-thru bridge
If you have purchased a stop Tail version of the HP special,
then you have a string through the body bridge system with
the patented Peavey Dual Compression tailpiece. The string-
thru style bridge has height adjustments on either side for
fine tuning the string height to your personal taste, and each
string has individual intonation adjustments (see below for
instructions on setting intonation). The patented Dual
Compression bridge features through the body solid brass
ferrules. The ferrules actually tighten/couple the tailpiece to
the body thus allowing for better sustain. The tailpiece is also
designed for simply stringing through the back of the tail
piece as a normal stoptail would allow. This unique design
