Peavey T-60 User Manual

E After adjustment securely tighten all four neck
attaching scrows.
F. Tune the guitar or bass to standard pitch. Check the
strings for proper height and playability. If necessary,
repeat steps A through E until action is correct.
4. String Intonation:
Accurate string intonation settings ensure that your
instrument will play in tune at any point on the neck
Although perfect intonation is a physical impossibility
with a fretted instrument, the correct settings with the
bridge and saddle combination of the T-60® and T-40®
will maximize the accuracy of the individual notes up and
down the neck.
Intonation is set by comparing the pitch of an open
string to the pitch of the samestring when itis played one
octave higher at the 12th fret. The actual "vibrating
length” of that string is varied until the notes are both the
right pitch. The "vibrating length” of the string is altered
by adjusting the individual bridge saddles either forward
or backward depending on whether the fretted note is
sharper or flatter in pitch than the open note. Ifthe fretted
note is sharper than the open note, the vibrating length of
the string must be increased - move the bridge saddle to
the rear away from the pickup. It the fretted note is flat,
the vibrating length of the string must be shortened ~
move the bridge forward toward the pickup to shorten the
length.
NOTE:
IT 1S OFTEN DIFFICULT FOR THE UNTRAINED EAR TO
DETERMINE WHEN THE OPEN NOTE AND THE
FRETTED NOTE ARE AT PRECISELY THE SAME PITCH
(EXACTLY ONE OCTAVE APART). SOME PLAYERS
FIND THAT COMPARING THE 12th FRET HARMONIC
OF THE STRING (RATHER THAN THE OPEN NOTE) TO
THE FRETTED NOTE IS MUCH EASIER. AHARMONIC IS
PLAYED BY PLUCKING THE STRING WITH THE RIGHT
HAND WHILE THE TOUCHING THE STRING WITH THE
LEFT INDEX FINGER ( AS LIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE}
DIRECTLY ABOVE THE 12th FRET. THE LEFT INDEX I
DRAWN AWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE
STRING IS PLUCKED, PRODUCING A “CHIME”
AFFECT. THIS CHIME NOTE IS THEN COMPARED TO
THE FRETTED NOTE. FOR EVEN GREATER EASE AND
A HIGH DEGREE OF ACCURACY, WE RECOMMEND
ONE OF THE MANY TYPES OF ELECTRONIC GUITAR
TUNERS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FROM MOST MUSIC
STORES. THE TUNERS WHICH USE EITHER A METER
OR A MOVING LED DISPLAY ARE USUALLY EASIER TO
USE THAN THE TYPE WITH A NUMERICAL
FREQUENCY READOUT.
Setting Intonation:
NOTE:
ALL GUITAR ADJUSTMENTS INTERACT CLOSELY
WITH STRING INTONATION- THESE ADJUSTMENTS
MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS
MADE TO SET THE STRING INTONATION AT THE
BRIDGE.
A. Ensure that the torsion rod, bridge height, and neck
tilt adjustments have been made and are accurate.
B. Tune the T-608/T-40® to standard (A-440) pitch.
C. Hold the instrument in a normal playing position. Do
not exert any undue pressure on the neck as it will affect
intonation settings.
D. Play the first string open and compare it to the pitch
of the same string when itis played atthe 12th fret. These
notes should be the same (one octave apart)
E. Using a Phillips head screwdriver adjust the length of
the string saddle so that the open note and the fretted
note (or harmonic) are the same.
NOTE:
IT WILL OFTEN BENECESSARY TO RETUNE THE OPEN
STRING TO STANDARD PITCH AFTER THE BRIDGE
SADDLE POSITION IS ALTERED.
F. Repeat steps D and E for the remaining strings.
G. Repeat steps A through F as necessary until the
intonation of all the strings are accurately adjusted.
5. _Care of the T-608/T-408:
The T-60® and T-40® are high quality musical
instruments constructed from the finest materials and
with the most modern production methods available.
With reasonable care, they should provide many years of
service and outstanding playability.
Temperature and Humidity:
It is important that your instrument be protected from
any extremes or sudden changesin either temperature or
humidity. The instrument should be stored in its case
whenever it is not in use.
Strings:
String life may be greatly extended by frequent
cleaning and wiping after use. Dirt and perspiration tend
to build Up on the Underside of the strings so it is often
necessary to slide a rag between the strings and the
fingerboard. Dirt-iaden strings cause tuning and
intonation problems as well as rust and corrosion. For
best performance strings should be changed
approximately ance a month or every 24hours of playing.
Some players may find that they preter to change strings
more often.
