Peavey Impact Firenza AX Operating Guide

To change the strings, first loosen the old strings by turning the tuning pegs counterclockwise. Remove them from the tuning pegs and bridge. Thread the new strings through the bridge, pull them up to the headstock, and wind them onto the tuning pegs while maintaining tension. Tune the guitar to the desired pitch.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the fretboard after each use. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of lemon oil to a cloth and gently rub the fretboard, removing dirt and grime. Wipe off any excess oil.
To adjust the truss rod, locate the truss rod cover on the headstock. Use the appropriate hex key to turn the truss rod; clockwise to tighten and reduce relief, counterclockwise to loosen and increase relief. Adjust in small increments and check the neck relief frequently.
First, check the tuning of your guitar. If it's still off, adjust the saddles on the bridge by moving them forward or backward using a screwdriver. This compensates for string length. Re-tune and check intonation until it is correct.
To maintain the finish, regularly wipe the guitar with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a guitar polish and a microfiber cloth to gently buff the surface. Avoid using household cleaners that can damage the finish.
Check the cable connections and ensure the jack is secure. Replace the battery if the guitar has active electronics. Inspect the wiring for any loose connections or corrosion. If problems persist, consult a professional technician.
Fret buzz can be minimized by ensuring proper neck relief and action height. Adjust the truss rod and bridge saddles accordingly. Also, check for worn frets and consider professional levelling if necessary.
Tighten the screw located at the top of the tuning peg with a screwdriver. If the entire peg is loose, check the nut on the back of the headstock and tighten it if necessary.
Store the guitar in a hard case to protect it from physical damage and humidity changes. Keep it in a stable environment away from extreme temperatures and moisture. Consider using a humidity control device if necessary.
Use a padded gig bag or hard case for transportation. Ensure that the guitar is securely fastened and does not move inside the case. Avoid exposing the guitar to rapid temperature changes during transport.
