I do saddle height reductions the same way, but I don't have the cool little roller jig. One thing you could have emphasized is the necessity of ensuring at least a 16th inch or so of the saddle should protrude above the bridge slot. Strings can buzz if their break angle is too shallow. I always factor the saddle "reveal" in my calculations. Great video!

@DougMen1 18 дней назад

Martins always come from the factory with slightly high action, because it's a lot easier to lower the action by taking the saddle down some, as opposed to having to put in a new saddle if the action is too low.

Measure once cut twice

I just did this last night when I upgraded to a bone saddle. The sanding jig looks pretty slick!

@PaulLacourse 11 дней назад

Have you noticed that 5/64 = 0.07813 AND not 0.090? At least you are still too high on the Bass side. ;-) So it means that the bridge had to be sanded +/- equally from the low side to the high side (0.070)

Awesome video Dylan.

I love the nut sander. I'd need one before I'd trust myself. Thank you.

@Seastone84 17 дней назад

Very informative, that acoustic sounds killer Dylan

@shadowminister4090 19 дней назад

Great video, Dylan. As soon as I saw that gig, I worked out how it'd work - brillant. Funnily enough, I've recently lowered my saddle. I just sanded off a little. Need to do more. And you guessed it, I put the saddle back in the wrong way around! 🤣.

@ThePlanarchist 18 дней назад

Excellent, thanks for this. If anyone is actually converting to metric I'd advice against using Siri, her margin of rounding is rather large!

@billylongley9580 18 дней назад

Great tutorial

@VERBANDTREM 18 дней назад

Great video Dylan, I have a 2023 000-28 and have done the same. Some martins just don't have the saddle clearance to allow a 2mm action. Lucky ours do!

@nalukeko 18 дней назад

12:58 why not set it on a flat hard surface and lift it with some feeler gauges to get the right amount sticking out?

Thanks for the demonstration. Im buying an acoustic next month and this is good to know. However im having Sweetwater set it up. But, you never know.

@RobertWrayGuitar 19 дней назад

I learned something!

@ScottfromBaltimore 19 дней назад

I'm thinking step one may be to buy a replacement bridge in case I mess up the one I have.

@michaelscott2269 14 дней назад

Great video and good stuff to know. I know i should know this however what is the Round Gage you used on the acoustic, and where do you get them? I’ve love Stringjoy strings, been using them several years. Which ones did you put on, I missed the name of them. Great video and many Thanks….!

@goswo 19 дней назад

VERY GOOD. And yes, no stupid wrap/lock, that is really not needed….

@ironmikezero 19 дней назад

Just a side note: Earlier Martins (like my '76 HD28) don't have adjustable truss rods; otherwise the rest of this procedure can work just fine.

@WeldyMcwelderson 18 дней назад

Cool video! Very informative, especially the siri part 😂. Also subscribe to help the dog people!

@omri643 18 дней назад

SIRI was wrong!! LoL 1/16" equals to 1.5875 millimeters, not 2! :)

@DylanTalksTone 18 дней назад

lol I know 😂

@dividedbytimestudios 19 дней назад

I picked up a Martin 000-28 last week, it’s at the luthier right now cause it had super high action, and nut was pretty high, I will say Martin cements the nut in the guitar 😂 I tried to remove mine to sand it down and it did not wanna come out,

@GuitarMagik 19 дней назад

Dylan i loved this ,,But thank god you did not listen to siri 1/6 inch is 1.587 MM

@jameshocking1188 19 дней назад

Measure twice and cut once!

@trevorgleave5168 19 дней назад

Can i say something? If your heavy handed vs light handed theres a difference light pic thick pic and i like to dig a bit abjuzt for that heavy palm mute or ringing out the numbers are calling for what type of player ? Of everybody screams low action i agree but i bump it up heavy handed i dig in i play 13s. One more thing at the bridge string to sound board needs some room height more height more bottom end right? Pretty sure you'll have plsyed a nice low action but no bottom end and buzzing when did in. Just saying about my style guys is all. Thanks dylan thanks folks

@trevorgleave5168 19 дней назад

Like the man said dont tie your strings no need thank Dylan

@ianstansell504 19 дней назад

5/64 is 78 thou

@DylanTalksTone 19 дней назад

lol yep. I realized later I was looking at the wrong part of the chart of measurements

@gregholmberg2 19 дней назад

It kills me that while measuring relief, you've got the perfect device for doing so right in front of you, and then you pull out the feeler gauge! Aaaaargh!

@DylanTalksTone 19 дней назад

So easily triggered by such meaningless things

@gregholmberg2 19 дней назад

@@DylanTalksTone there's no need for personal insults. The digital gauge would be easier and more accurate than the feeler gauge, that's all I'm saying.

@DylanTalksTone 19 дней назад

No insult intended. Just making an observation. If you feel convicted by said observation…. That’s something you need to deal with internally.
