Re: Should I set up my Guitar myself?

See, people with the dexterity and desire to play guitar can learn to set up a guitar. A handy thing, if you intend to play for years to come.

Re: Should I set up my Guitar myself?

Tony, good to hear you got it all set up!  Is it like a brand new guitar?  Or perhaps, like the old computer that some techie finally got at and tweaked to be the work horse it was always meant to be?  smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Good for you, Pix. The lower the thresh hold of pain in the fingers  -  the higher the thresh hold of pleasure and enjoyment.

MeK it's more like a new guitar.  It feels and sounds completely different.  I have already noticed a difference it how fast I can make chord changes that sound good.

Re: Should I set up my Guitar myself?

I made my own adjustments to all my guitars for 25 years and I got 'em to play O.K and in tune.
But when I took my mid - 70's Yamaha acoustic to "Picker's Paradise" and let Jim Ball set it up for me, I couldn't believe how well he got it playing. Jim is the best there is around here and I wish I had hired him sooner to do all my guitars.
