All guitars are set-up in our workshop before shipment.
Here are some of the settings we make on each guitar.
• Adjustment of the neck relief.
The trussrod is set to have the following spaces between the notched rule and the fingerboard at the 11th fret:
For a guitar: Between 0 mm and 0.40mm.
For a bass: Between 0 mm and 0.50mm.
• String height adjustment
For a guitar:
Low E: 5/64 "(2mm)
High E: 4/64 "(1.6mm)
(Space between the 12th fret and the underside of the string)
For a bass:
Mid: 6/64 "(2.4mm)
Floor: 5/64 "(2mm)
(Space between the 12th fret and the underside of the string)
• Test on every frets
The guitar is played on every strings and every frets to find any potentiel fret buzz.
Â
• Fret buzz?
If some areas are creating buzz and if a slight neck relief correction cannot resolve them, then we proceed with a fret levelling. Watch video.
Â
• Checking the nut, the saddles, and setting hamonics ...
• Pickup height adjustment.
We fret the string on the last fret and we set the pickups height at 2mm.
• Electronic test, final inspection and cleaning.
• Once the guitar is ready, we send a photo to the customer, just before packing.
Et voilà !
