To adjust the action on your Peavey T-1000 LT, you need to modify the height of the bridge saddles. First, loosen the strings to reduce tension. Use a small Allen wrench to adjust the screws on the saddles, raising or lowering them as needed. Retune your guitar and check the action; repeat if necessary.
If the output jack is loose, first ensure the guitar is unplugged. Use a wrench to gently tighten the nut on the output jack from the outside. Be careful not to overtighten, as this can damage the wiring. If the problem persists, consider opening the back panel to check the internal connections.
Buzzing frets can often be resolved by adjusting the truss rod. Locate the truss rod adjustment nut, usually at the headstock or body joint. Use an appropriate wrench to adjust it slightly in small increments, checking playability frequently. If buzzing persists, consult a professional for a fret leveling.
The recommended string gauge for the Peavey T-1000 LT is typically .009 to .042 for standard tuning. However, preferences may vary based on playing style; heavier gauges like .010 to .046 can offer a fuller tone, especially for alternate tunings.
To change the pickups, first remove the strings and unscrew the mounting screws of the pickup. Carefully de-solder the connections at the control cavity. Install the new pickup by soldering it according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram, then screw it into place and restring your guitar.
If your guitar is not staying in tune, check the tuning pegs for looseness. Ensure that the strings are properly wound and seated in the nut slots. Also, consider lubricating the nut and bridge contact points. If these steps don't help, the issue might be with the neck tension or intonation settings.
Use a soft cloth to wipe down the fretboard after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a fretboard conditioner or lemon oil; apply a small amount on a cloth and rub it into the wood. Avoid over-applying to prevent buildup. Ensure the fretboard is dry before restringing.
To set the intonation, use an electronic tuner. Play the 12th fret harmonic of a string and compare it to the fretted 12th fret note. If they're not in tune, adjust the saddle position; move it forward if the fretted note is sharp, or backward if it's flat. Repeat for all strings.
To replace the tuning pegs, first remove the strings and unscrew the old pegs from the back of the headstock. Install the new pegs by aligning them with the existing holes and securing them with screws. Re-string the guitar and tune it to check the installation.
First, check all external connections and cables. If the issue persists, open the control cavity and inspect the wiring for loose or broken connections. Use a multimeter to test the pots and switches. If you're unsure, seek assistance from a professional guitar technician.
