Can't believe I actually watched this from start to finish while washing the dishes, doing my laundry, and cooking dinner. I am currently having my gs mini setup and while waiting I thought I'd look on youtube to see how it's done. Enjoyed your stories. Thank you
I just received 2 guitar's. One very cheap Mitchell qnd one very expensive Taylor k26ce. I got the Mitchell to learn on and it has similar issue's. I wonder, I have to replace a few frets. I realized thatthe new ones are slightly wider. Taylor has weak fretwire in this guitar. Can I do a partial refret with the slightly wider frets or should I just do thr whole board? Ive read as it gets used that wideness will hurt the intonation and make it sharper. The first 6 are basically toast. Love the video's cause ypu really teach. I shared your idea with a friend and he liked ot a lot. I did the banana on my SE strat and it has the lowest action I've ever seen now. It did itneck off and it still worked quite well.
Hi Ranman - don't worry; wider frets make zero difference to intonation because the intonation point is the same i.e. at the very top (centre) of the fret, regardless of how wide it extends either side. It's only a problem if you flatten the fret - in which case the 'intonation point' moves to the bridge-side of the fret mid-point. That has a small impact on intonation. I've never done a partial re-fret; for the reason that if I did, I would still have to level the new frets down to the height of the old ones anyway so I might as well start them all off and enjoy new, tall frets. And the cost difference between 6 and 22 frets is relatively little anyway :) Thanks for your kind feedback -- glad there's something useful for you in my videos.
Hi, friend!! I congratulate the work you do with each instrument, putting dedication and love!! Could you tell me what gauge of strings you put on them? Greetings from Argentina!!
@@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars thanks for the reply! I never knew what string my guitar came with when I bought it. Now I have to change the strings and I bought 10-47 but I'm afraid it will affect its original sound. Greetings from Argentina!!
