Hey Korey . Hope you’re doing well fren. Appreciate you as always 💪

You too! Hope you have a great day!

All good stuff - I have my action at 2mm on the bass side and 1.5 on the treble - its always felt like the bass strings were lower than the treble if at the same height! YMMV. As to the saddles - I've been really happy with the Gotoh compensated - the other compensated/angled (without grooves) actually made the intonation inconsistent as when the stings slipped, so did the intonation.

That's the stuff. My sunburst Tele is still fighting me, I'll give it a try with your setup, and let you know. Thx Korey!

Excellent!

Great content! Is there a tone difference between Rutters' brass and steel compensated saddles?

@KoreyHicksGuitar 5 дней назад

@@ericmmiller the steel is brighter and has more bass. I played blackguards with brass for 20 years, and now find myself preferring the steel 🤷🏻‍♂️

@macktk0256 Месяц назад

Thanks for this. What is your approach to pickup heights with traditional tele pickups?😃

@KoreyHicksGuitar Месяц назад

That’s a good question, I always go by ear until it sounds right, but I want the Bass and treble side to be the same volume so I can use my fingers or the pick to control dynamics. I like the bridge pick up to be quite a bit louder than the neck pick up.

Korey Hicks..great content and delivery, Thank You. On the saddles, Brass or steel? Does it matter?

@KoreyHicksGuitar Месяц назад

@@rescd4 on my ‘59 it’s steel, on the ‘52 it’s brass (I keep it vintage spec, but Rutters offers both)

@jimb4074 Месяц назад

Great setup info! Do you cut the G string to a certain length to get the 8 wraps on the post?

@KoreyHicksGuitar Месяц назад

I usually cut the brand new G string 2 to 3 inches off of the length that comes in the package, which seems just about right with a vintage style telecaster!

@jimb4074 Месяц назад

Thanks! Going to use these tips at my next string change.

Er.... that increases the break-angle. I'm still a fan of it, though.

@JanPanCygan Месяц назад

Thank you, awesome tips. How cut the nut to stay in tune in fist frets?

@KoreyHicksGuitar Месяц назад

@@JanPanCygan that is probably a topic for another video, has to do a lot with touch and feel and small adjustments, but I typically hold down the third fret and tap the string and look for a teeny tiny bit of gap
