Factory specifications for a 2004 Hummingbird

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I've searched as best I can on the web but can't seem to find any details on the factory specifications for my 2004 Hummingbird. I dropped the string gauge from medium to lights when I bought it and now I'd like to know whether it needs much of a set-up. My local guitar tech shop wants me to to pay for the privelege of assessing it for a set-up.

 

Can anyone help me with the specs or a link to where I can find these please?

 

Thanks,

 

H

What type of specs are you looking for? If you're looking for string height, I believe this is what comes from the factory (last I checked).

 

1st Fret treble side: 1/64"

1st Fret bass side: 2/64"

12th Fret treble side: 5/64"

12th Fret bass side: 7/64"

 

Neck relief between 0.007 and 0.008

Hey H. I'm good friends with Robbie Gladwell (aka Dr Robert) who has a workshop (Dr Robert's Guitar Surgery) in Bulmer just south of Sudbury. If you ever need any work done give him a call. He knows everything about anything guitar related it seems. He'll do a great setup for you. He's also a huge Gibson fan.

Hi AlbertJohn, thanks for that - a personal recommendation is a valuable thing :) I'd been chatting to the tech at Trevor Durrant Guitars in Colchester and wasn't hugely impressed...
