adjust the action, or you can get it setup completely for 50 dollars
Thank you so much! 60 bucks my ass! It’s free on youtube.
you can question your local guitar shop to do it for you tho
i just bought my strat to the shop in order to change my brdige pickup, theyre chargin me 25£ (brittish pounds)
or maybe i was a fret buzz…how should i solve it??
300 to 400$ maybe…
how mutch does this guitar cost!
turn down distortion, could be fret buzz
yes
@CoombesKidd ok..
if ur desperate get the boss ns-2, it gets rid of all buzz and feedback no matter what amp, guitar, and effects you use
does changing ur pick-ups realy hard?? help,,,
uhm dude…my guitar is new…but its only local made…not a fender….and im using a zoom g1x…maybe i should consult a guitar technician..
Did you try tuning the strings? I mean not the saddles, but the machine heads?
a. check amp and cables for problems
b. get new guitar
c. replace pickups (for strat single coils dimarzio or lace sensors are excellent)
d. get the boss ns-2 that eleminates all buzzkill and feedbacks (worth the investment)
once you have set the intonation should you ever have 2 change it again.
it doesnt matter where u place the saddles on my guitar when it has new strings the intonation is perfect.but after about a week hte high strings go flat and if you go the saddles right to the top and rite to the bottom it doesnt make a difference>
HELP
does the level of the saddle affect the intonation?
hey…my guitar buzzez…if im not playing it..it buzzez a lot….what should i do?
thx….but what about the other strings ? Is the way for the string setup same as for the “e” string ?
god i thought it be much harder than that xD cheers!
~shreds~”okay sounds excellent!”
so this is how you do a setup on a strat?
thank you. i never bothered about the screws and took notice about this thing with the octave to be fine.
hey here’s an thought how about you mention that when you turn the screw on the bridge saddle the harmonic goes out of tune so then you have to tune the string again. in most cases this is a vicious cycle where you tune your string then tune the screw and tune the string and tune the screw until the saddle screw comes out. no guide seems to mention this.
you need to have new strings set up when you are setting the intonation
Wow, I had no thought you had to turn the screwdriver so much. I’ve been turning mine about 1/8th turn each time and wondering why it’s not working.
