Peavey Guitar - Manual (Page 12)

Changing Your Strings
1
Unless you are reconditioning your fretboard (see Cleaning &
Care, p.), strings should be changed one at a time to maintain
proper neck tension. New strings should be free of defects
(twists, kinks, bends) that can cause sound irregularities or
breakage. All strings must be stretched upon installation.
After your first tuning, carefully pull each string away from the
fretboard, stretching it gently (too much force will break thinner
strings). Then, retune your guitar.
Peavey recommends that you replace strings in the same
gauges to maintain proper neck and/or bridge tension. If you
wish to change strings with different gauges, Peavey recom-
mends that you enlist the services of a qualified technician to
make the required truss rod and/or bridge adjustments on your
instrument.
