Thanks
Geoo Thanks Geooo. I really do appreciate the feedback. I have been trying to make the site a repository of information we can all use and I must be getting close. Always looking for recommendations on what can be added, improved or for that matter removed.

And for Bish. I have to smile more :D :D :D]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/paged/2/#post-136952 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136950 Sun, 06 Nov 2005 02:34:45 +0000

I am always happy to hear that something on my web page helps others.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136869 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136868 Sat, 05 Nov 2005 18:10:21 +0000
I received my Les Paul yesterday. It's very disturbing to receive new gear at work. Due to that fact, I required myself to take a half day to go home and break this bad boy in.

When I tried tuning it up and become acquainted with it, the tuning didn't seem right. I used a chromatic tuner on it and it tuned up fine. But playing barre chords was horrendous. I researched it to the Low E. Playing barre chords except the open E were off. The low E string was a half step off everywhere else on the fret board. I'm thinking this is different.

So I looked up Nils's setup page and used the guide to make some small adjustments. I first lowered the low E end of the bridge, (noticing an improvement in action) and also noticing the strings were all whacked out now. I retuned them. OK, next we'll tackle some intonation issues. Intonation which was something I knew nothing about until this week. DOH!

I actually started messing with it before reviewing the web page but figured I better use it as a guide in case of trouble. After some minor experimentation and loosening and retuning the strings I was able to get rid of that anamoly. If I wouldn't have had Nil's guide I might not have ever known what was wrong with this guitar and either set it in the corner discouraged or sent it back and given up. Needless to say I'm not scared to attempt this sort of self mod on my own at all now.

To get to the point. This guitar has been in my possession for roughly 24 hours and it's now staying in tune and playing as expected. I think I'm over the hump and on my way to more great music.

Great guide there, Nils. Thanks a bunch!!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136868 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136259 Wed, 02 Nov 2005 15:38:43 +0000

Now, fly over to the UK, come to my house, set up my guitar and teach me to play it.

What do you mean - 'no'? :lol:

If you do I 'might' let you ride my Triumph:
http://www.richard-halford.co.uk/triumph/major_service.htm I would love to fly over, do the setup, go for a ride etc. (had a Triumph myself). It's been 10 years since I have been there. I use to go over 2 or 3 times a year for about 10 years then I changed jobs and don't get to go anymore. I love the country, love the people, and love the beer (order interchangeable).

I did have a problem driving on the other side of the road but more when I got back here. Over there I had to think. I made a suggestion that they switch to driving on the other side but that it should be phased in. Trucks first :lol: :twisted:]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136099 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/nils-web-site/#post-136096 Tue, 01 Nov 2005 18:33:41 +0000
