You have a Fender 800. The beautiful thing about the old Fenders with cables is that you can change your copedent quick and easy. The tuners on the end work with a screw driver and you can make any string go up or down to your heart's desire within reason. Pick your copedent and have fun.

Andrew, the pedals are tuned by the rows of silver and black phillips-head screws on the end of the guitar. The silver ones adjust the amount of raise, and the black ones adjust the amount of lower. I'm not aware of a 10-string manual online, but there are several online manuals for the Fender 400 and 1000 (8-string models) and they are similar in design to your 10 string guitar.
Here's a link to one of them:

The 10 string models are double-raise/single lower as opposed to the single/single 8 string models. The changers are significantly different.
