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.

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.
