Harley Benton DC Jnr set up

Описание к видео Harley Benton DC Jnr set up

In this video I'm setting up Tim's Harley Benton Double Cut Jnr - in that beautiful stand-out blue. This is a great guitar, about as simple and as fun as you can get. Just a P90, a volume and a tone and not much else. The beauty of single pickup guitars like this is that they make you work your controls much more than guitars with multiple pickups and settings. And you have to set up your amp to give you a workable range of break up as you wind up the volume too.
This guitar came with pretty good frets - but a bit scratchy (as with the Fusion III I also did for Tim). I replaced the NuBone nut with the tried-and-tested custom Tusq adjustable nut and levelled the frets for fine-tuning plus re-crowning and polishing them out. One thing I really like about the bridge on this guitar is that it's 100% functional. I've never been a fan of this design of bridge but I have to admit, my criticisms have only been visual and completely superficial. I didn't like the way it looked. But despite being 'cheap' it stands vertically (rare!) and the design leaves a ton of break angle (rare!) and loads of adjustability for intonation (individual saddles plus the screws to move the entire bridge back). I've changed my mind and compared to some of the very cool looking Tone Pros-copy bridges made by Musiclily / Wilkinson M-series it wins hands-down. Those bridges not only tilt forward on their ill-fitting studs but their marginal break angle over the saddle is immediately lost as a result rendering them almost or many cases completely unusable.
Since Tim lives in Florida and will be taking this guitar home with him and his wife when they drop in for a UK in the middle of October I make some points at the end of the video about being ready to adjust your truss rod to compensate for different climates.
