Peavey Electronics manual Tremolo Bridge Height, Tremolo Bridge Tension

Tremolo Bridge Height

Bridge height may be adjusted by means of the bridge pivot bolts. Turn the pivot bolts clockwise to reduce bridge height. Turn the pivot bolts counterclockwise to increase bridge height.

tremolo Bridge Tension

The tension of the tremolo bridge is set by adjusting the spring tension screws that hold the spring claw in place. To gain access to the spring tension screws and spring claw, remove the spring cover on the back of the guitar.

Per Edward’s specification, the tremolo system is adjusted to rest on the body surface for maximum sus- tain and tonality. This will only

allow the strings to be dropped below pitch.

This also ensures tuning stability when using the D-Tuner™or when a string breaks. The instrument is equipped with two springs, which allow proper tension for the string gauge supplied with the guitar. The extra spring is enclosed should you prefer to use a heavier string gauge.

Proper tremolo tension is achieved when the bottom of the tremolo bridge plate rests on the top surface of the guitar body without requiring excessive force to depress the tremolo arm.

The tremolo can be adjusted to operate as a floating style tremolo by loosening the spring tension. Turn the spring tension screws clockwise to increase the spring tension, and counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension.

This instrument should be tuned to proper pitch (A-440) before and after making adjustments.

Note	If the floating tremolo style is desired, it is
	recommended that you remove the D-Tuner, as
	its operation causes a change in string tension

that will affect the tuning of the other strings. An extra string lock bolt is enclosed in the case, should the D-Tuner be removed.
