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.

Pickup Adjustments

Factory settings place pickups at the same volume level; however many players change the height of one or more neck or bridge pickups to create their own output levels. Should you choose to alter the height of a pickup, remember that it is magnetic. To keep your factory warranty intact, Peavey suggests you take your guitar to an Authorized Peavey Service Center to have the pickup adjustments made.
