Washburn Setup

A fairly simple job, the setup wasn’t that far out.  Having said that setting up a Floyd Rose is never easy!

Before the setup I’ve also added a treble bleed circuit.  It stops the quality of the tone from fading and going “woolly” as you back off the volume.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERA

Before I start the setup I also gave the fretboard a good clean…SANYO DIGITAL CAMERAand as it was rather dry, a little lemon oil.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERALooking at the setup, the neck has just a little too much of a curve.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERAThe truss-rod screw sits at the heel, under the small cover.  A bit of a pain to get too.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERAThe action was a little high so I dropped the bridge down a little.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERALastly the intonation.  Always the problem with a Floyd Rose.  It probably takes as long to set the intonation on a Floyd Rose as does to do a complete setup on any other guitar!SANYO DIGITAL CAMERAStill all done.

Only one problem, I just rang the number the owner gave me and it doesn’t work!  So if this is yours give me a call!
