  • HELLOOO Bill!

    How'd the move go?

  • compeletely not according to plan at all. Grrrr! lol

  • Pretty interesting, I had no idea that one would take apart their guitar in order to tune it properly O_O I'd like to see it done indeed, preferably on an acoustic guitar, but seeing as I know I'm not going to try it, it doesn't really make a difference.

  • okay, thanks Julian :)

  • When my guitar needs adjusting, I buy a new guitar.

  • I have to admit, I was waiting for an Alan wrench or Alan screw joke.... then it didn't come. Kind of disappointed with you, Bill. =P

    I'm pretty sure I would never ever try to do any of this. It's still neat to learn about though.

  • How do you lower the action on an acoustic guitar? Anyone can reply to this because I just got a Fender F-25 and the strings are too high and I need help!

  • @whatsmyname252 yeah the happens to me too someone please explain!!!!!

  • Holy Shit IT's GEDDY LEE!!!!!!!

  • when i bend my strings b@! e string on the thirtenth frett it wont ring it just stops playing which is very frustrating any sugestions anybody

  • When I cover your eyes with my pinky finger the rest of your face looks just like Jason Newsted.

  • @fallofautumndistro So if your 1000$ strat needs adjusting you just buy a new one? :o

  • Its not really wise to be adjusting the action via the truss rod. The truss rod adjusts the amount of relief (bow) in the neck. Adjust the amount of relief in the neck first then set the action via the bridge and/or bridge saddles or even the nut if it was set too high.

  • THIS GUY SHOULD BE THE CEO OF 'EXPERT VILLAGE'!

  • @fallofautumndistro dude its like 20 $ to get it fixed xD

  • @BoIivarDan exactly
