Entry level guitar that needed tons of help for a beginner. We made this one playable! A worthy investment. A poorly set up guitar will not encourage a beginner to play. Do yourself a favor. If you bought someone a new instrument to learn to play on, go the distance and have it set up properly so that they will WANT to learn how to play!

I'll tell you what, for a MIM Martin, this thing sounds incredible! When accessories fall off when the double sided tape, go and buy more double sided tape. Super Glue destroys rubber and plastic double sided tape.

How to fish out the battery without re-stringing ?
You can always loosen the strings way loose.
Do you work on 12 sting guitars and can I ship it to you since I live in Arizona?
I can’t take any shipped guitars as the climate changes will mess up the setup. Thanks for asking and watching though.
What strings
Long time ago man. I think 13s.
Do you repair 12 string guitars I have one and I’m thinking of getting a leveling crown on it
Yes!
Regarding the neck relief, you mentioned 10/1000s. Are you talking about inches or mm? The EVH documentation mentions 0.010 mm, but that is really almost like a hair...
Inches. Sorry about that. In USA.
@ All you videos are very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
You said Gotoh 305 tuners, but I can't find those. Did you mean GB350?
Ah, you write GB707 later, thanks
Sorry about that.
Does Buddy ever ask for a 3rd wound string choice?
On acoustic? I’ve only ever had wound third. I’ve used wound thirds on my Carvin Electric with a piezo bridge. That guitar is long gone.
Do you think you should not be able to feel the fret ends at all with your finger, or just really smoothly rounded and close to the binding?
Smoothly rounded close to the binding. I think the only way you avoid that is with those brands that install rounded recessed frets like Sire or with Gibson with the fret nibs.
@ Thank you
I got an Ibanez Talman TCY10E on the cheap a few years ago. I call it my Front Porch guitar. Just for fun and practice and I do like it. Replaced the plastic bridge pins with mahogany. Did a decent set-up. She does have pretty nice turners. I do need to shave the bridge a bit.
I almost bought one of those years ago.
Fender is not a name I think of for acoustic guitars. It is nice looking overall. Super deep body.
Any chance you're moving near Orlando soon??!?!?! Haha, another nice video!
Thanks! No. Been there done that.
Which oil do you use on the fretboard?
F1 from Music Nomad
No set up on a 4000 dollar guitar ?? great customer service...👎👎
Right??
Thanks Vic! She is playing and sounding amazing! For those with guitars in the Pittsburgh area this is the guy you need to see.
Thank you sir! My pleasure!
I hope you put thread locker on those bridge screws. They tend to vibrate and move under play otherwise.
Hey Vic. I might just call you sometime just to chat about guitars. Would be cool with you?
Sure.
My number is on my website. www.stringmanguitars.com
I owned a Roland Micro Cube modeling amp for many years. It is one of, if not THE most awesome practice amps ever. I loved it. I sold it about 3 years ago to a very good friend for him to give to his daughter as a Christmas present. I just had finished setting up her Epiphone Les Paul (added some nice upgrades too), that had sat untouched for a while. We added a new case, strap, cords, books and all together that was her Christmas gift from her father. Together her interest in playing was renewed and she is now an awesome guitarist. Her singing is awesome too. Remember the name Sophie. She may be famous someday soon.
That is awesome. Best wishes to Sophie.
Nice job.
Thanks!
Beautiful Guitar.
Did you get s PRS for Christmas? Or is that Buddy's? It is a little rare to see a PRS in the shop. They usually work great. I would love to own one, but the higher end models are pretty pricey for me.
No it’s a client’s guitar. Video is coming in about a half hour.
I thought PRS😮 was building high end domestic units and also contracting with chinese factories for their affordable lines. Much like Fender. I heard this from a PRS tech video. Here is a quote from PRS: Private Stock, Core, S2, and Bolt-On instruments (including the Silver Sky, Fiore, CE and DW Signature models) are produced by our dedicated teams of craftspeople in our factory in Stevensville, MD. SE Solid-body and Semi-Hollow instruments (including the SE Silver Sky, SE Zach Myers, and SE Custom 22 Semi-Hollow) are produced by our dedicated partners in the Cor-Tek Surabaya, Indonesia factory. SE Acoustic & Hollow-body instruments are produced by our dedicated partners in the Cor-Tek Dalian, China factory
Yes the SE line is Excellent this is not that. This is garbage fake counterfeit that the guy bought for his guitar room wall. He’s got a room full of chibson stuff. He simply wanted them “playable” he also has a gang of high end REAL guitars as well. These are just wall art.
My Affinity is a P/J made in Indonesia. Is this not a Squire Sonic?
The Affinity PBass have been made in Japan, Indonesia, Korea, China etc over the years.
Sometimes it ain’t worth it
Thanks a lot for the video
You are welcome!
How do you take the strings off? I unwound the string and can’t get the string ball out
There is room to grab the ball end from the back of the bridge with some needle nose pliers.
Like mine, the neck pickup is MUCH lower volume than the bridge pickup. But you can only raise the neck pickup a very small amount. And you can't lower the bridge pickup much because the cover hits the strings (the cover moves with the pickup). So apparently Rick wants the bridge pickup MUCH louder than the neck pickup?
They fly in the face of logic.
I just purchase an SX Vintage Series Jazz bass. Can you share the setup measurements? I followed the video and I don't recall you stating what the pickup heights should be. Thanks
1/8” on the bass side holding the string down at the last fret and 3/32” on the treble. Thank you for watching!
Is the ruler you use 0.3 mm?
I use imperial measurements. You can convert via google. Thanks for watching!
I bought a Mexico special as b stock and it took me a month to get it playable. When I got it. None of the strings even rang because of bow in the neck. It was a mess and I almost sent it back but it only cost €450 and i loved the small size and the sound of the pickups. Pickup switch also had bad soldering. Once i got it playable it was great but I did wonder if it was sent back because it originally came that way from the factory?
Not sure. You do give up a bit when you buy Made in Mexico. The old phrase “You get what you pay for“ certainly applies to guitars as to everything else in life. Glad you got it sorted. Nearly everything can be made playable. Thanks for watching.
Any 5/16th socket will fit that truss rod
Not really. Depends on the rout in the headstock. I actually have two Gibson wrenches and a Stewmac bullet shaped wrench because not all will fit. Thanks for watching and contributing! Have a great new year!
so much wasted time
Thank you for watching!
These little Martins are great guitars, built like a tank and they sound great. I’ve set mine up with a quick fret polishing , neck adjustment and some new strings… I like Elixir’s for my Martins.I never touched the bridge saddle.
Awesome,Super helpful. Happy New Years From Ireland!
Happy new year!
35th l1ke
The switch is to split the bridge pick up. Come on man 😂
thanks for the video! can you tell what heigth did you set for the pickups? thanks!!!
3/32” treble side 1/8” bass side. Thank you for watching! Hope you have a great holiday season and a Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the video! I just got this bass a month ago and really don't wanna fuck it up haha much appreciated
Thank you for watching and your kind words.
Nice colour. I have a Ray4 in Translucent Blue.
Nice
.012 is a lot of relief for a Gibson. Gibson’s call for .010”. Fenders with a vintage 7.25 radius call for .012”.
I don’t know where you get your numbers. You do you.
@ Um….The manufacturer spec? Where numbers come from?🤦🏻♂️
You da man! I am interested in that guitar but didn’t know if the pickup height was adjustable but I do now. I find myself watching your channel for a lot of setup info lately. New subscriber!
Wow! Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it! Have a great night!
Pick up height how many mm. Thanks!
Sorry. Don’t go by metric. But here’s the imperial if you wish to convert. Bad side 1/8” and treble side 3/32”. Thanks for watching!
@stringmanguitars4329 many thanks!
@@lemmuelpanganibanabsolutely!
I’m considering putting the same pickup in the bridge of my 50s road worn Strat. Did you have any problems with the depth of the pickup fitting into the cavity?
No. That’s a full size Strat body. You’d be good to go.
what is the normal tuning for a 5 string bass?
BEADG
Are you thinking of ordering the SOLO Guitars pickup height measuring tool?
Nah. The Stewmac set works fine for me. Merry Christmas!
I'm grateful for your channel, good sir! I recently purchased a spector ns pulse ii 5 and the action is insanely high. However, after watching your DIY several times; I feel like I just about got her dialed in.
I’m glad to hear! Hope I earned a subscription! Have a great day!
Exact same situation. Received mine today and it's really high. What adjustments did you make?
@@radMisctruss rod adjustment to .012”, saddle adjustment to bring string height to 5/64” across the 17th fret. Thanks for watching!
Hey brother, what is your honest opinion of this EVH Wolfgang Special built in Mexico? Do you think it is quality built? Do you think the setup is good from the factory? I'm thinking about possibly buying one! Thanks for your input!
I believe they are well built. They all really need a setup as they are made in Mexico then shipped to a different climate, then to you. Wood always moves climate to climate and season to season. So yeah get them set up.
@stringmanguitars4329 Appreciate your speedy rely! Keep up the great vids!
@@mixc5967thank you. I hope this earned me a subscribe. Have a great day! Always happy to help!
Have you ever installed a 5 position "Super Switch"? I have a humbucker Tele with 4-wire pickups. I am thinking of doing a split coil wiring setup with maybe in and out of phase option in the switch.
I’ve not.
Are locking tuners the way to go on most electric guitars? If so, is there an instance where you would say no? I am debating on what to buy a build I am doing now.
I prefer them, however the Gibson Les Paul I have, will remain stock.
The most overated bass ever made . I would take an ibanez mc 924 any time Best commercial production bass has got to be the fender precision its just right in every respect
Solder the ball ends!
