String Action

String action refers to the distance between the strings and the frets on a stringed instrument. Peavey technicians carefully set optimal string action on every guitar before it leaves our factory; however, changes in temperature and moisture (humidity), changing string gauges, making neck adjustments or tuning can alter string action enough to require a height adjustment to restore your guitar to factory specifications. Undesirable low action causes buzzing, while abnormally high action makes your guitar difficult to play.
