Epiphone Setup

A good-looking guitar.  Nothing much wrong with it, just needs a few slight adjustments to get the setup right.  Before doing anything else I took the old strings off and gave the fret-board a good clean.

With the new strings in place I could properly assess the action.  Unusually the fret-board was a little flat, nine times out of ten its the other way.

By tightening the truss-rod I got a little extra curve.

The action at the 1st fret was fine but the bridge is just a little high…

The only way to sort that our is to remove the saddle and grind the bottom down..

I only needed to remove around 1/16″ on the bass side and 1/32″ on the treble.

With that back in place all that’s needed is some polish and it’s done..
