      Change the the Tone chip. After I changed mine it has way better range & sound out of the tone pot. I use a spare chip from an ibanez rg I had laying around. Oh & beside that I put new set of Dragonfire pickups in it cause the old ones were a bit microphonic.
      Keep on keeping on brother 🍻

    Thank you so much for posting this, such a great guitar but EART needs to put a booklet or manual in the box with this guitar.

      I think they move the individual saddles forwards/backwards, haven't tried it though as didn't need to mess with it further than what I did in the vid.

    First set action, then correct intonation. The brass saddles move in a circular motion and therefore not only up and down but also back and forth. It's a bit finicky but I kinda like that bridge

    Hello, great video I just bought one of these guitars but I have some doubts:
    4:16 What are those screws for? what adjustment do they make?, the same with 4:36, you just say loosen or tighten but you dont say what? thank you :)

    • @flailhead
      @flailhead  3 года назад +2

      I think they may be to move the position of the saddles forwards/backwards, I haven't tried it myself but those are the only screws that fit the extra allen keys provided.

    Did you finish the top veneer layer with oil or something similar? I have the Leo Jaymz version of this guitar and it’s basically a clone of what you have in this video. The butler maple veneer on mine seems unfinished, not sure if it’s worth getting some linseed oil to finish the wood.

    Why not just buy a set of guitar adjustment tools, i.e., radius finders, and string height gauge? They are cheap and work way better. Also, those other bridge adjustments are very important to finding if you are intonated or not.
