Construction
Bodv
-
This instrument features a unique double cutaway body design with a
contoured neck heel and offers comfort, proper balance and maximum
playability. lt is constructed of the finest select materials chosen specifi-
cally for tonal qualities as well as for aesthetic and weight characteristics.
Neck
The select hard-rock maple neck is crafted to provide unmatched rigidity
and freedom from warpage. An adjustable steel torsion rod is also provid-
ed for additional reinforcement. This torsion rod features an easy access,
recessed torsion rod adjustment wheel for convenience and ease of
adjustment. (See Adjustment-Torsion Rod for adjustment
instructions.)
Pickuos
-
All LTD'" vintage pickups are frequency tuned for maximum tonal
response, as well as being fully wax-dipped for low-noise operation and
resistance to microphonic feedback. The middle pickup is reverse
wound/reverse polarity which provides hum-canceling operation when
combined with either the neck or bridge pickups.

Controls
LTD* VT
LTD" ST
This five-position switch allows selection of any individual pickup or two
combinations of multiple pickups. The middle pickup is reverse
wound/reverse polarity, which provides hum-canceling operation in the
2nd and 4th positions. The available selection possibilities are as follows:
VT and ST rnodels
(D (Toward neck) : Neck pickup only
(D (One click down) : Neck and middle pickups
.- (Middle) : Middle pickup only
,D (One click down) : Middle and bridge pickups
'D (Toward bridge) : Bridge humbucking pickup only
HB rnodel
(D (Toward neck) : Neck pickup only
o (One click down) : Two outside coils
o (Middle) : Both pickups
o (One click down) : Two inside coils
.D (Toward bridge) : Bridge pickup only
The volume knob controls the total signal
delivered from both pickups. Rotating clock-
wise will increase volume; rotating counter-
clockwise will decrease volume.
LTD* HB

Tone
Rotating the tone knob clockwise will result in more treble (higher
frequencies) and a brighter overall tonality; rotating counterclockwise
will reduce the amount of treble.
The output jack accepts standard guitar/instrument cables.
(We recommend high-quality Peavey "shielded" instrument cables.)
Adiustrnents
Your instrument has been carefully adjusted at
the Peavey factory for accurate intonation and
playing ease. However, your playing style and
requirements may necessitate additional
adjustments. These should be made by your
authorized Peavey dealer, but with a little
care and by closely adhering to the following
instructioi'rs, you may attempt these adjust-
ments yourself.
Please read the instructions thoroughly before
attempting any adj ustments.
Torsion Rod
All guitar necks have a slight amount of bow to keep the strings from
"buzzing" on the frets. This instrument features an easy access torsion rod
adjustment wheel located at the end of the neck. This wheel can be
adjusted with an AIIen wrench or small screwdriver. Just insertthe tool
into the adjustment wheel and rotate accordingly.
Tune the instrument to standard (A-44O) pitch.
2. Fret the sixth string (E) at the first and last frets.
3. Check for clearance between the string and the eighth fret.
and no more than .O15"
4. Clearance should be no less than .OO5"

5.
6.
To increase clearance, loosen (counterclockwise) the torsion rod
adjustment wheel. Less clearance (straightening of the neck)
is accomplished by tightening (clockwise) the torsion rod
adjustment wheel.
Retune the instrument and repeat steps 1-5 until proper
clearance has been achieved.
Pickurrs
-
The volume level between pickups can be adjusted by raising or lowering
each pickup with its height-adjusting screws. Raising the pickups closer to
the strings will increase the output and volume. Lowering the pickups will
similarly decrease output and volume. When making these adjustments;
be sure to maintain adequate clearance between the pickLlps and strirlgs.
lmproper adjustment could result in loss of sustain and possible string
buzzing.
The manner in which you adjust the height of your pickups will greatly
affect your tone and output levels. Experiment with different settings untit
you get the sound you want. You'll be surprised at how much tonal vari-
ance can be achieved with a simple pickup adjustment.
Bridee Assernblw
-
The bridge features individual bridge saddles which determine the overall
string height. lndividual string saddles can be adjusted to follow the cur-
vature of tl-re fingerboard. Use the supplied 1.5 mm Atten wrench to make
the adjustment for each string. To increase string height, tighten (clock--
wise) the saddle height screws (two per saddle). Lower string height is
accomplished by loosening (counterclockwise) the saddte height screws.
The Peavey/Hipshot Ultra Clide Tremoto System" with patented bearing
action comes setup from the factory set flush to the body with no pull
back. To adjust the bridge for floating operation raise the pivot bolts with
the supplied 5/32 allen wrench. For best results the spring claw should
then be adjusted so that the bridge plate sets parallel to the top of the
body when tuned to pitch. Playing technique, or style wil! depend on just
how much pullback and spring tension is required .

String Intonation
Accurate string intonation settings ensure that
your instrument will play in tune at any point
on the neck. Although "perfect intonation" is an
impossibility with a fretted instrument, the prop-
er adjustments will maximize the accuracy
of individual notes up and down the neck.
lntonation is set by comparing the pitch of an
open string to the pitch of the same string when
played one octave higher at the 12th fret. The
actual "vibrating length" of that string is varied
until the notes are both at the correct pitch. The vibrating length of the
string is altered by adjusting the individual saddles either forward or back-
ward, depending on whether the fretted note is sharper or flatter in pitch
than the open note.
9 rr^rrF This process should always be performed with new strings.
(D IUU I E lntonation problems can often result from worn strings. tt is
J often difficult for the untrained ear to determine when the
open note and the fretted note are at precisely the same pitch. Some play-
ers find that comparing the 'l2th fret harmonic of the string (rather than the
open note) to the fretted note is much easier.
A harmonic is played by plucking the string with the right hand while
touching the string with the left index finger (as lightly as possible) directly
above the 12th fret. The left finger is drawn away as quickly as possible
after the string is plucked, producing a "chime' effect. This chimed note is
then compared to the fretted note. For greater ease and accuracy, we rec-
ommend one of the many types of electronic guitar tuners that are available
from most music stores.
1. Ensure that the torsion rod and string height settings are accurate
and the strings are new.
2. Tune the instrument to standard (A-44O) pitch.
3. Hold the instrument in a normal playing position or place the
guitar on a clean, flat surface so that the body is in contact with
the work surface. Any pressure on the neck will affect intonation
settings.
4. Ptay the first (E) string open and compare it to the pitch of the
same string when it is played at the 12th fret. These notes should
sound the same. (Actually, there is an octave difference.)

5. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, adjust the string saddle
so that both the fretted and open notes are the same. lf the 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 pickups. lf the fretted note is flat, the vibrating
length must be shortened. Move the bridge saddle forward -
toward the pickups - to shorten the length.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining strings.
Repeat steps 1-6 until the intonation of all the strings is
accuratety adjusted.

Care of Your Instrtrrnent
This is a high-quality musical instrument constructed from the finest mate-
rials, using the most up-to-date production methods. with reasonable
care/ it should provide many years of service and outstanding playability.
It is important to protect your instrument from any extreme or sudden
changes in temperature or humidity. You should store the instrument in
its case when not in use.
Strines
-
Your instrument is equipped with high-quality, Peavey nickel-wound bal-
anced 9s. String life may be greatly extended by frequent cleaning with
string cleaner. 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-laden strings cause tuning and intonation problems,
as well as rust and corrosion.
For optimum performance, strings should be changed approximately once
a month, or after about every twenty-four hours of playing. Some players
prefer to change strings more often.

Finish
Your instrument has a polyester/urethane finish that is both durable and
weather-resistant, but requires care. Regular cleaning with Peavey guitar
polish is recommended. Between polishes, the instrument should be
wiped with a dry, soft cloth.
Accessories
Peavey offers a full line of accessories
for your instruments. Cases, amplifiers, strings, polishes, straps and more
are all available from a Peavey dealer near you.
WARNINGS
Atl amplification accessories, microphones, mixers, etc. must be properly
grounded and should be utilized with a three-wire mains system in order
to prevent electrical shock.
Do not come into contact with other electrical apparatus when playing
(or touching) your instrument. The metal parts of this instrument are
grounded according to proper and accepted industry practice, but it is
possibte to encounter an electrical shock when coming into contact whh
another electrical apparatus if it has improper grounding facilities.
Do not use improper or poorly designed guitar straps or other inferior
means of support. Possible injury could result if improper, inferior,
ill-fitting, or worn out straps are used. The instrument could possibly fall,
causing bodily injury or damage to the instrument or associated equipment
f the holding devices fail for any reason.
Cuitar strings are made from very strong steel alloys and are under
considerable tension when tuned to pitch. Exercise extreme care when
tuning (especially above concert pitch) or when employing string bending
or "popping" playing techniques. The possibility of string breakage and
personal injury exists under these conditions.
