Peavey Electric guitar - Changing Your Guitar Strings; Standard Tuning and Mnemonic; String Changing Quick Tips

Unless you are reconditioning your fretboard (see care and
cleaning), 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 tremolo tension. If
you wish to change strings with dierent gauges, Peavey
recommends that you enlist the services of a qualied
technician to make the required truss rod and/or tremolo
adjustments on your instrument.
Some Peavey guitars feature ACM
