I have a Fender American deluxe. I wish Callaham made a bridge for this. He makes everything else except the bridge plate. I sent an email about it last week.
Hey! In all I turned it a quarter turn. Sight down the neck both directions. For me, I saw that my neck was straight as an arrow. The last owner was not into bending strings. I come from a blues rock upbringing, so I bend. Albert king and Albert Collins are my hero’s. So I bend! Don’t be afraid...
Agreed. I recently bought a beautiful sunburst deluxe 2005 strat, I’m apparently the third owner. I made two very small truss rod adjustments ( neck too straight ) over the course of three days, raised the action and intonated it. Each day it has improved. Bends are much easier, vibrato is easy...
I pretty much have been away from this site since 2012? I recently bought a strat after not buy since then. I’m really wanting a rocket ride asteroid chorus.
Prove it? I can only share my observation over the past 40 years, living at a dozen different locations over my lifetime. Just asking if anyone else noticed it.
i can only share my experience. i find the guitars require less adjustment when stored upright compared to my storing them on their sides and even flat. just wondering.
I’ve been standing my guitars upright in their cases when not in use for several years now. And they play great. I recently acquired a strat that fretted out at numberous spots. I adjusted relief, string tension and saddle heights. Things improved somewhat, but not significantly. I’d still like...
hi guys!
I’m asking for suggestions for a great luthier in the northern Nj area. In particular, fret work, leveling, crown work etc. for a strat of mine.
Thanks
ive had it for 6 years now. still love it. the callham bridge with brass saddles work perfectly. the fender locking tuners are great. i was going to change the pick ups, but ive found that simply lowering the pickups cleaned up the sound, and its perfect. no need.
I havent sold a guitar in years. Its an expensive one. I dont want to just walk into a guitar center and get raped, or post it online. any other ideas?
