Yamaha Setup

This is rather nice Guitar, very well put together and finished but the owner was unhappy with the action height, it was a little too high.

Starting at the top the action at the first fret is a little high but since I’m going to fit a bone nut anyway I’ll adjust that once I’ve fitted it.

New Nut, It’ll improve the sound as well.

The neck had a little more set than I would like so I’ve tightened up the truss-rod a little.

To reduce the action height at the bottom end the only thing to do is remove the bridge and grind the bottom down a little to reduce it’s height.

Once that’s done it’s a simple case just put it all back together and give it a bit of s clean and polish.

A word from the owner:

“Can’t say enough about the great service George provides, made my Yamaha acoustic much more playable with a set up to lower the action and a replacement bone nut. Even picked up and dropped off, well worth it and fantastic chap to deal with…will be using his service again no doubt… thanks George!”
