Guitar Setup – Intonation
The last bit of the playing action, the Intonation….
Epiphone Setup
What a lovely Guitar, just in need of a tweek here and there to get it playing as it should. The frets were good and even so they didn’t need any work for once. Since it’s got a floating bridge I put some low adhesive tape on the body before removing the strings. That way […]
Bone Nut
This one rather sits at the bottom end of the market, but even so, it should play OK. This one had a very strange “buzzing” sound. It’s all down to the cheap plastic nut with its overly slack slots. The only way to cure that is to fit a decent nut.The blank was just a […]

Samick – Fret dress and setup
A nice looking guitar, sadly the build quality has rather let it down. The first problem was a dodgy volume control, a little intermittent. I was going to replace it but once I got the wiring out I found a dry joint. I would say it was an easier fix but the biggest problem is […]
