Vintage V52 Re-Issued Tele set up

Описание к видео Vintage V52 Re-Issued Tele set up

In this video I'm setting up Judy's Vintage V52 Re-Issued Tele from the JHS/Wilkinson partnership. At the start of the video I demonstrate some pretty savage low spots on the neck causing all manner of choking at my chosen (target) low action. I was apprehensive about whether or not I would be able to 'free up' the choking bends because of the severity of the ups-and-downs on this neck... in the end I got very close to my target and only had to compromise 1/4mm on the high E and B string actions. This is a judgment call given the relative low-ness of the frets to begin with. A fair bit of time was spent off camera sizing down a Tusq nut to make a custom nut for this guitar due to its non-standard nut slot size. Vintage guitars have a habit of doing this (as do many JHS guitars across the company's history - such as the Indian-made Encore strats!) - leaving me with no choice but to make a custom nut. The previous owner had fitted a GraphTech 'NuBone' nut and, like most replacement nuts from GraphTech (whether NuBone or Tusq) it was slightly too thin (front-to-back) with the result that it was tipping forward in the slot and was pretty messy. Making a custom replacement is fiddly but very satisfying to end up with a well-fitting nut, one of the most important areas of the guitar to get absolutely right.
