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 rst 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 qualied technician to

make the required truss rod and/or bridge adjustments on your

instrument.
