Solutions to an age-old problem


PB26

Recommended Posts

Alright, think I figured some stuff out:

 

Previous set up:

 

-Relief of about a business card width, maybe a tiny fraction less

-Action: 5/64 bass, 3/64 treble per Gibson's basic guidelines

 

After some fiddling around, mainly for playability purposes, I arrived at this set up:

 

-Fretting first and last frets, and tapping string at 8th fret, relief is just enough so that I can see the string barely move to reach the fret. Neck would be straight if I touched the truss rod again.

-Action: 3/64 bass, 2/64 treble.

 

No tone loss, way easier to play, and I can fret the G string on the second fret and get a true note without having to tip toe around.

 

Good job!
