Peavey T-60 User Manual

Controis Cont.
4, Phase Switch: The phase switch is a two position
switch which reverses the coil relationship in the lead
(bridge) pickup only. The out-of-phase sound is a hollow
sound and is available only when the pickup switch is in
the middle position. This is logical since the switch is
thore to put one pickup out-of- phase in relation to the
other pickup. The up position is in phase, while the down
position places the pickups out-of-phase. In this mode
the volume and tone controls can be usec to alter the tone
of the instrument by controlling cancellation.
How the Circuit Works:
‘Our unique tone circuitry enables dual or single coil
operation of each pickup independently through the
rotation of the pickup tone controls. Rotating the tone
controls fully clockwise (position #10) achieves the
single coil mode and produces a greater degree of
“highs” from the instrument. Rotating the tone controls
counterclockwise to approximately the #7 position
brings the second coil into operation for full-range,
humbucking tonalities. Further counterclockwise
rotation of the tone controls (from position #7 to 0) yield
conventional tone contouring action.
Adjustments:
Your T-60®/T-40® guitar or bass has been carefully
adjusted for accurate intonation and playing ease at the
Peavey factory. However, your playing style, choice of
strings
or
playing
requirements
may
necessitate
additional adjustments at some time in the future. These
adjustments should be made by your Peavey dealer.
However, with a little care and by adhering closely to the
following instructions you may attempt these
adjustments yourself.
CAUTION:
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUC-
TIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS.
1. Adjusting Torsion Rad:
To set the straightness or relief of the neck, Peavey
torsion rod wrench #75031001 must be used. This wrench
is available from a Peavey accessory center at your
authorized Peavey dealer.
Setting the T-60® Neck:
A. Tune the instrument to standard (A-440) pitch
B. Fret the sixth (big E) string at the first and last frets.
C. Check for clearance between string and the 8th fret.
D. This clearance should be no less than 1/64” and no
more than 3/32”
E. To increase clearance, loosen the torsion rod nut
counterclockwise. For less clearance (straightening of
the neck), tighten the torsion rod nut.
CAUTION:
IT IS NOT USUALLY NECESSARY TO ROTATE THE
TORSION ROD NUT MORE THAN ONE FULL TURN IN
EITHER DIRECTION. ONE-QUARTER TO ONE-HALF
TURN IS NORMALLY SUFFICIENT TO MAKE MOST
ADJUSTMENTS. EXCESSIVE ROTATION MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE NECK AND TORSION ROD. IF
EXCESSIVE FORCE IS NECESSARY TO ROTATE THE
TORSION ROD NUT, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR
PEAVEY DEALER OR THE FACTORY BEFORE ANY
FURTHER ADJUSTMENT IS MADE.
F. Repeat steps A through E until proper clearance has
been reached.

Adjusting the torsion rod of the T-40®:
As with the T-60®, to set the straightness or relief of the
neck, utilize a Peavey torsion rod wrench #75031001
A. Tune the instrument to standard (A-440) pitch.
B. Check for clearance between the strings (1 through
4) and the first fret. IMPORTANT: USE AN ACCURATE
RULER OR SIMILAR GAUGE FOR THIS
MEASUREMENT,
©. This clearance should be no less than 1/32" and no
more than 1/16" at the first fret.
D. Check for clearance between the strings and the
twelfth fret.
E. This clearance should be ne less than 1/16" and no
more than 7/4" at the twelfth fret.
F. To increase clearance, loosen the torsion rod nut
counterclockwise. To decrease the clearance, tighten the
torsion rod nut clockwise. (The torsion rod nut is located
under the plastic cover plate on the headstock.)
CAUTION:
IT IS NOT USUALLY NECESSARY TO ROTATE THE
TORSION ROD NUT MORE THAN ONE FULL TURN IN
EITHER DIRECTION. REFER TO CAUTION NOTE
UNDER T-c0"
G. Repeat steps A through F until proper clearance has
been reached.
2,_ Saddle Height Adjustment:
The T-60® and T-40® feature individual bridge saddles
which work in conjunction with the neck tilt adjustment to
determine the overall string height. Ordinarily, the neck
tilt should be used to set the string height. However,
individual string saddles can be adjusted to follow the
curvature (12” radius) of the neck to maximize string/fret
distance. Use a 3/64” (T-60®) and 1/16" (T-40®) Allen
wrench to make the adjustment for each string.
NOTE:
THIS ADJUSTMENT REQUIRES ACCURATE GAUGES
TO MEASUSRE PROPER STRING/FRET DISTANCES
AND THE PROPER RADIUS (CURVATURE) BETWEEN
THE NECK AND STRINGS. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR
WITH THIS TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT, WE RECOMMEND
THAT THE SETTING BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL AT YOUR AUTHORIZED PEAVEY
DEALER.
3._Neck Tilt:
The neck tilt adjustment works in conjunction with the
bridge
height
adjustment
to
set
the
overall
string
playing
height. This adjustment should be used whenever
possible to set string height rather than the bridge height
adjustment
A. Relieve string tension slightly by detuning the guitar
approximately one to two full steps.
B. Loosen the two neck screws closest to the headstock
of the guitar approximately one turn.
C. Loosen the remaining two screws closest to the
bridge approximately two turns.
D. String height may now be adjusted with the neck tilt
screw, which is located inside the small, fifth hole in the
neckplate. A_1/8" Allen wrench is used to make this
adjustment. Turning the screw clockwise lowers the
strings closer to the fingerboard
NOTE:
STRING HEIGHT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TOFIT YOUR
OWN PARTICULAR PLAYING STYLE. IT SHOULD BE
NOTED THAT SETTING THE STRING HEIGHT TOO
LOW WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVE STRING BUZZ AND
RATTLE - ESPECIALLY WITH A HEAVY PLAYING
TECHNIQUE. EXCESSIVELY HIGH ACTION WILL
RESULT IN INTONATION PROBLEMS AND
DECREASED PLAYABILITY.
