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.
@@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”.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
He got a steal on that guitar.
Yamaha is still a premo item, what a nice bargain. Thanks Jerry, nice result
Awesome and cool song. Greetings Jerry.

Learned a lot on nut action setup and paying attention to string tone. Thank you Jerry!
Nice one Jerry. Cheers mate from sunny England
Nice work Jerry, that guitar sounds really nice!
Really enjoyed this from Texas!!

Thank you for the kind comments. It is a true story and the kids always loved to hear it.
Oh my, Karol... what a compliment. Thank you so much!!!
Jerry, You work under pressure with ease.

Awesome fix
Thanks Jerry nice guitar great song Bill 🇬🇧
thank you for the kind remarks.
Good video Jerry! Thanks for the song Bill. Would love to get my guitar to ya one day for a setup!
You should adopt Bill soon. That leather is awesome.
I agree, I'm ready to move.
Im surprised how loud and clear it came out despite the low saddle.
Gotta mermaid in my guitar. Luv it!! Nice pickin!
Thank you for the kind remarks.
Looks like a setup to me.
I just looked it up. This guitar has a plywood top and is available for less than $300. Sure looks nice though.
Jerry would you be so kind as to tell "What kind of Electric Tuner," is that , that you use?
Hi Jerry, love your work. What size pick do you use when measuring string height at the nut.
Regards
Paul. Australia.
Great work as always, what's the thickness on the pick you used?
Good question!
Usually it's like .017 or .018
@@jthonn HE told me .016

What gauge pic were you using on the first fret?
How can you worry about intonation before you lower the action.
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 have a 310 and a 335
Nice I have a F350 that needs a new bridge
Now thanks to Jerry you know exactly how
@@jameslifetimelearner Yes and I was paying close attention even though I have seen him do that numerous times. Seeing him do up close was priceless.

Are you using just a flat file on the nut?
Nut files from stewmac.
Neck relief?
I'm surprised they didn't mention that...
Would have brought the string action down by a mile but as always he never checks the relief..
He looked down the neck, when e checked the angle.
If there was a problem, he would have seen it then.

@@stu-j: Stu, you seem to have a real problem with what Jerry does, how he does it and how he thinks.
Why do you even come here?
