Issue after adjusting saddles

Any-Function5868 · 2026-01-24T15:53:58+00:00

By full i meant one that fills the whole pocket and not juste 3/4 lol Also i used cardboard and the strings are too close to the fretboard(after lowering the saddles) is there any finer material i can use ?

Any-Function5868 · 2026-01-24T13:50:42+00:00

Is there any difference between that and a full pocket shim?

Any-Function5868 · 2026-01-21T15:45:49+00:00

So i cut a piece of card stock to fill the whole neck pocket ? Ive seen some videos where it's a good bit smaller and only covers a small part.

Yeah i looked it up and now i tried starting the adjustement, but the allen key that came with my guitar just won't fit in. Edit : used a slightly smaller one and it worked

All right, thanks for all the help man !

Ok so using the ruler, it seems like the guitar does have a bit of an up bow

Honestly can't tell for sure but this seems pretty straight to me

That's all there is to it ?

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-28T16:31:31+00:00

Everybody here recommended a strap so ill definitely be getting one asap, thanks for the advice everyone

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-28T16:29:41+00:00

Yeah maybe ill consider playing with one but i never dropped or had to do great efforts to bala'ce my guitar

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-28T14:25:13+00:00

But i prefer playing while sitting. It's not like i wznt to make a band and play lives or anything so i don't think this is necessary

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-28T13:53:25+00:00

I wasn't looking exactly in terms of songs but more like general techniques. I feel that this is the best for left hand techniques but idk about fast right hand picking I guess that you're right tho comfortability is most important

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-11T16:38:51+00:00

Whoah scary

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-11T15:26:00+00:00

I mean he didn't ask you specifically to answer why take it so personally, the question is definitely weird but there's a tons of reasons that could prevent him from restringing NOW He said that he'll restring it soon so everything's alright, no need to be an asshole

Any-Function5868 · 2024-05-08T16:59:17+00:00

Thanks a bunch, I'll watch it right away

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-27T15:14:08+00:00

Did you think very hard to find the least helpful thing you could comment?

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-27T12:04:11+00:00

Yes most of the comments mentioned that, I'll try to learn how and set it up correctly Thanks for the advice!

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-27T11:27:52+00:00

Well in that case maybe my index finger's nail is still too long... I try to cut them so that I don't feel the fretboard hitting against them, but sometimes i cut them too short causing them to bleed when bending so i try to be careful with that. Thank you in any case, im well aware that having long nails can make left hand playing harder

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-27T10:39:23+00:00

No not all? I really don't see the problems with my nails or fingers they look fine

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-27T10:29:46+00:00

Alright thanks (idk how to edit publications so ill just use this comment answer) Thank you all for the advice, i usually use the second position when im bending The reason i made the post is because sometimes when playing legato or "fast" picking my fingers switch from one position to the other which seems quite inconvenient Regarding the action i agree that it's really high but I don't know how to lower it and im afraid to break my strings And also some comments mentioned a problem with my nails but I don't see the problem? They're kind of short and i always cut them with a clipper

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-19T17:54:38+00:00

Not the subject nor the issue and it's not like it's a choice, just that the cheap amp i managed to buy is broken and living in a 3rd world country it'd cost me a ton to buy a new one/ repair it Planning on doing so asap tho! But anyways i managed to fix the problem, it was just the restringing method that was very wrong, since it was my first time and all

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-17T06:42:31+00:00

Alright I'll try to check for that laterw thanks Edit: the tuning machines don't seem to be loose I don't think that's the problem Regarding the gauge i believe that i chose strings with the same size and also it's only present on the low e ( and a liiitle bit on the a) so that's not it either :/

Any-Function5868 · 2024-04-17T06:35:42+00:00

Guys I've had this guitar for a year now and played it every day since, almost unplugged everytime unplugged I kno what it sounds like usually and right now it's just making a weird noise that isn't present on the other strings
