What's a POS guitar anyway????
I'm not familiar with that one....?
Oh, you must mean like TR's guitar.... A Potty Seat! :lol:

No - Just giving Margaret a hard time bein' the dyed in the wool Fender guy that I am.
Though I am thinking of sayin' my Strat has a similar problem to see if Santa brings me a real nice PRS :D
I'm sure it'll be hard to suffer through it (with a grin on my face and all)... I think I could manage it though. :wink:

Margaret - Shakespeare!!!! :D
Good choice for an ending.
I love all the Shake's on this site 8)

You're right, Dali, I won't be taking any guitars there for setups in the future, even though it is a reputable shop.

The shop told me they had it set to specifications (and I realize that specs are probably a range, not just one value), and that if they lowered it any more there would be buzzing issues, etc. Since it was a change to heavier strings and they are a professional shop, I didn't know what else to do but believe them, until it sat around for so long unplayed that I figured even if I had to go back to 9s, I had to do something.

Yes, Chuckster, it is just like having a new guitar all over again. :D 8)

All's well that ends well.

It's recessed way down inside that dark hole where you insert the wrench, just above the nut. You put the wrench in there and operate blindly. I have a couple like that. I lay the guitar on my wifes ironing board (where I do all my setup and repairs) and I squat down behind it with a flash light holding the allen wrench like it is a laryngoscope and I'm getting ready to intubate somebody. :lol: I do try to lable my wrenches but sometimes I'm not as good about it as I should be. :oops:]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/got-some-bad-news-today-update-happy-ending/paged/3/#post-240781 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/got-some-bad-news-today-update-happy-ending/paged/3/#post-240764 Tue, 01 May 2007 20:22:04 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/got-some-bad-news-today-update-happy-ending/paged/3/#post-240764 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/got-some-bad-news-today-update-happy-ending/paged/3/#post-240762 Tue, 01 May 2007 20:21:00 +0000
