I gave away my fg110 from 72 , the neck twisted (and I had no idea what a truss rod was) but now have acquired two 300 series dreadnoughts and I share my love between them and my 77 D28….
That crazy little mermaid song was so wonderful, I think maybe the best one I have heard since "Puff the Magic Dragon". Bill - thanks for sharing the song and the story!!
Nice job, I still haven't tackled my wife's Yamaha yet. It's from '75, and never had a truss rod adjustment or anything. You can throw an Elephant under it, known as the "egg slicer". I hope it doesn't need a neck reset, it is a beautiful guitar.
Excellent buy for the Yamaha. I call them the "poor man's Martin." I have three of them (two F325's and one F-310) that I am cleaning up, all sound great for the price.
I think he checked the intonation prior to lowering the action to get a before and after comparison. You don't know if you've improved anything unless you check it first.
I know you’ve said it before Jerry but what gauge of pick do you use to check the string height at the nut when nut filing? I guess I’m just looking for the proper feeler gauge thickness.
Hello my friend. I enjoy your vlogs greatly. You make order out of chaos.I watching MBTubes, Titanic items Recovered from the wreck. 110 pics.Among these was a violin, there's even an old pic of the owner with it.Thought you might enjoy it.Yeshua is The Way The Truth and The Life.
@@billwebb3371 Well sorry about that, I have seen other videos where it was .018. .016 is getting down there, but as long as there is no buzz, cool. I start getting chicken because if you go too low on the nut and it buzzes on the first fret, you have to make a new nut or do the super glue baking soda trick, which I don't like.
@@jthonn yeah he’s very adamant about taking your time and checking often so you don’t go too deep. I specifically asked him about the thickness of the pick because I also remembered him saying, “.018”.
@@zapa1pnt and looking down a neck can see exact relief? I think not and I've setup guitars professionally coming up to 30 years for gigging musicians. Especially on a acoustic guitar it should be set straight using a straight edge ( as string gauge makes a huge difference on acoustic guitars) just because he looked doesn't make it true.
