  • @ian6511 Im need sticking uo for this noob but he's spot filing a problematic fret so he is correct

  • Doing it this way is just going to lead to needing a total refret. Ugh.

  • hey sir..can i use carbon paper to align my guitar??

  • @tvicena that's a touchy issue with me. Ive played on a brand new Gibson LP Custom t hat needed significant set up adjustments, ie)intonation was way out on 2 strings , also string buzz here and there.

    Even if you pay $4000 you may still have to adjust from the factory, but that is bs if you ask me

  • if you have to adjust the frets right out of the box what does that say about quality control from the manufacturer?

  • i will need this tomorrow when i get my hohner osc guitar won't i?
