A great looking guitar, now plays as good as it looks…

There was nothing very wrong with it, just some slightly uneven frets and a rather high action.

First mask off the fretboard and body to protect it…

and level the fret tops.

Once the frets are re-shaped and polished I put the strings back and had a look at the setup.

Since it’s got a floating bridge I put some tape on the body so I’d know where to put it back…

The neck set was a little large so I eased the truss-rod off a little.

The action at the 1st fret was also a little high on the bass side…

so I took the E, A and D strings down a little.

The action at the 12th fret was also a little high so I took that down as well.

And another one done…

A word from the owner:

“As promised the playability of my guitar is now greatly improved thanks – Russell”
