    That bridge setup looks like a solution desperately seeking a problem.

      Tell me about it. I have a customer with the same guitar. They ordered a Certano bridge with b and g benders and wanted me to install it. It is not compatible with this wonky setup.

    That drop-in bridge reduces labor cost for production. NOT the product of sound engineers--but bean counters working for The Corporate Bored. Yes, I misspelled that on porpoise.

    At 1:45... I could see a bit of backbow and the buzz seems to confirm that. Predicting you will back off the truss rod slightly and it may still need a thin shim to pitch the neck down so you can reset the saddles for a nice action. Will gladly admit it later if I was wrong. Nice looking Tele! Now I'll shut up and watch the rest.

  • @timducote5713

    How are you setting string radius without using a radius gauge? If you are just going by string height, how are you compensating for the compound radius?

    • @DavesWorldofFunStuff
      @DavesWorldofFunStuff  5 месяцев назад

      measure string height? much?

    • @timducote5713
      @timducote5713 5 месяцев назад

      @@DavesWorldofFunStuff What I mean is, typically when a neck has a compound radius, a common way to set the string radius is to determine what it should be by "extending" the neck to the bridge. For example, I have a Warmoth neck with a 12 to 16 compound radius. Extending that to the bridge gives us about a 20 inch radius. So, setting the bridge at 20 inches makes the neck play nicely from the 12 inch radius up to the 16 inch radius. My Charvel came set-up from the factory like that and plays perfectly up and down the neck, too. Is measuring string height at the 12th fret a good way to compensate for the compound radius of the neck?
