In my viewing, I'm at 2:46, so I haven't heard you discuss tuners, but I would consider using a set of staggered tuners instead of a second string tree. This might be particularly good if those stock tuners need replacing. Two birds with one rock.😎 Also, I should throw in that the new tuners could lock -- THREE birds!😃
Thanks for watching. You must have read my mind. Although I didn't go with stagger tuners I did go with a set of locking tuners with lower posts. My videos are journeys and it may take some time for me to get to where we are going but we always get there together. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. Rock on!
@TedTalksGuitars Actually, I was sharing the product of an unfortunate experience I had in attempting a simple string tree upgrade. I managed to break the head off the screw of the upper tree -- yes, the one for the high E and B strings. The screw is still there, but I found, not one but two sets of tuners that worked as solutions to the new lack of a string tree. One set resembled the stock set more than the other, so I installed those and used the other set on a different project. That guitar no longer has nor needs either string tree, although I left the broken screw there as a visual scar. Hey, that's nothing compared to how janky some of Eddie Van Halen's stage guitars were!😆
@@edwinstovall3334 Oh, I see the staggered tuners took the string tree out of the equation. I get it. What is your go to staggered tuner brand? And yes, I would call the broken screw character (smile). Rock on!
@@TedTalksGuitars Sorry I didn't reply sooner; I had to look up my purchases to remind myself of brands. Speaking of which, I bought Gotoh and Hipshot. These are the very first staggered tuners I've ever bought -- but I like both sets. The Gotohs were almost completely a drop in replacement, and the Hipshots replaced a set of tuners whose high E tuner had stripped out -- I think before I bought the guitar (used, of course). They're too good for that guitar, though; it has a Floyd and a retaining bar, so the staggering is wasted here. Great tuners, though!
@@edwinstovall3334 No worries. Thanks for sharing. I have had a few sets of HipShot staggered. they are pricey but I have liked them. i have never tried the Gotoh. I'll have to check those out. Thanks so much. Rock on!
You always get impressions around the tuning pegs because of the pressure of the ferals on the screws. That little imperfection you notice that you thought might be a crack it looks like a touch-up I have a small imperfection that was there and somebody just touched it up with paint afterwards. If you scrape it it might show the crack below. The bottom of the nuts are always flat the radius is done at the top. One thing you might think of doing is using the original factory strings to make all your adjustments and not slot corrections once you put the new nut in there. That way you put less wear and tear on doing that kind of stuff when your new strings are on
Always fun to look into what's going on with a guitar. This one's radius is way too flat for me. My Squier CV 60s is 9.5" and I love it. The Tease is at 12," so I'm going to try to get a radius block and see if I can't get that neck to my preference. My arthritic wrists (not serious, just sore) like 9.5 on Strats and teles and 12 max on LP types.
As always, glad to have you on the journey with me, Cal. I get the radius thing some people swear by various radius preferences. I understand getting a bit more seasoned (smile) and the effects it can have on us and playing. Let me know how the Tease work goes. Rock on!
Changing the nut angle will make zero difference to the break angle of the string to the tuning post, zero. If the break angle bothers you, then use a second string tree, but honestly, at the tension the string reaches when tuned, you'll notice zero difference either way, in fact, you could be introducing another point of tuning instability by adding a 2nd tree. FYI: Fender Squiers have only a single string tree for the B-E strings, there's no problems what-so-ever.
It definitely was another company returned before Temu. That's why the strings were nasty. It's a 16 without the finish on the neck ted. Company's barley makes a 17. It's a cover up Crack. Looks like the fingerboard was lifting there a shadow between them. They probably glued it. But hey like you said 120$ what do you expect. You can always put a tease neck on it if needed if it bothers you with the imperfections tease necks a flawless. Buy a stringtree bar. Or send it back..But that's my thoughts not suggesting.

Great to see you working on a guitar! It's always fun to hear you talk through the process. Have a great weekend, sir! Cheers, Ted!

As always, thanks Mike. I appreciate you and your suggestions. Rock on!

Forgot to say that I wouldn't do the 2nd tree as it will put undue pressure on those 2 strings.
@@2bikemikesguitartopics145 Thanks, Mike.

Every Fender Strat I’ve ever bought new (3 of them) came with one string tree. I put a tri tree on my oldest one. Stew Mac sells a 3 string tree.
Thanks, brother. That is common on SCV's as well. Rock on!
