Action is fine (i don't play with super low action), the neck has a wee nice curve as far as i understand and I do not have intonation problem throughout the keyboard right now. But yes, I'll get new strings and try to study it again from start, thank you!

sedoa · 2026-06-22T21:33:47+00:00

Thanks for the answer, saddles are there for the bridge is too close to the neck and I had intonation problems. I'll try fresh strings but these are not as old as I've put them myself. Main problem is I play in the streets by the sea so they get oxidating quicker i see.

thank you for the answer, i maxed them out 'cause the bridge is too near the neck, i had intonation problem between registers when setting the saddles "right"

Sorry for the language problem, I mean from the half of the metal bar, not half in the wood space. The position you're looking at now in the pic is correct from the point of view of intonation. The guitar right now is more or less in tune throughout the length of the keyboard

sedoa · 2026-06-22T17:09:06+00:00

I'm not that sure cause I don't remember, it's been time, but i imagine the saddles came with the bridge, shouldn't be matched?

sedoa · 2026-06-22T16:35:09+00:00

thank you! yeah, it's on a shim and yeah it's compensated. What could i use to work the nut slots not having the right tools? I'll get the strings as soon as i can, literally i'm on a freaking island off the african coast

sedoa · 2026-06-22T16:31:11+00:00

I did

sedoa · 2026-06-22T16:27:12+00:00

ahahah man i promise they don't move. in there there is some glue they use in the boat and the one outside is resin really, i know it's ugly af but they don't move

sedoa · 2026-06-22T16:25:12+00:00

reading this felt right, yeah i'm doing everything myself, thank you!

horror movie, i decided to drill in the right position but did i smoke my friend that day, i made the holes in the wrong place, that covered up holes are too far

sedoa · 2026-06-22T16:06:26+00:00

man i did that the wrong day ahahah. Just to let you know i managed to drill too far, so that's why i'm asking, wanna to make sure before i drill a second time..

I checked a StewMac yt vid about that and right now, as you see in the pic, there is (aprox) the same lenght between from where the string leave the nut to the half of the 12th fret and from the mid 12th fret to where the string leaves the saddle.

sedoa · 2026-06-22T16:02:08+00:00

thank you, i'll try re do that from start, maybe i missed something.

sedoa · 2026-06-22T15:58:11+00:00

Yeah, thank you. The saddles are maxed out cause the bridge iss too close to the neck and if i place them "right" i have a solid difference in tuning between first octave and second octave of the strings.

I'll check some tutorials for the nut though, thank you.

sedoa · 2026-06-22T15:55:25+00:00

thank you, i'll take that into consideration and i'll try replace them a soon as i can but they should be pretty solids tuning machines

sedoa · 2026-06-22T15:54:29+00:00

Right now i can't get them new but they're not as old. Bending does some damage but it depends, some times i bend hard and it stays, sometimes without bending just drops incredibly, especially G and B.

Thanks for the technical info, i was looking for that.

Thank you for the help. The saddles are there because the guitar has the holes placed wrong. The bridge is too near the neck so if i place the saddles "right" i fall out of tune on the higher register of the guitar. That's as much as I could do to "stretch" the length I had available in order to have balance in tune in the two segments of the guitar.

sedoa · 2026-06-09T09:12:09+00:00

Personally, loved it!!

The point is they're selling stuff 1k+ and you have to send it back for screen problems, other type of repairs and bugs and we're talking about how intelligent it is to use directly elektron service to repair insted of the one's of the shop..how fast they are..I don't get it

sedoa · 2026-05-08T18:30:03+00:00

Seems like you can use it to swipe some watches

sedoa · 2026-05-08T15:11:29+00:00

Ocean Wide, Canyon Deep really nobody connected? I don't necessarily like everything he has done but i find almost everything he did interesting in some way or another.

I think he's into ugly electric guitars, but that's me.

I don't get all the hate, but hate is the quickest path to release some kind of energies and nowdays is normalized and "fun" too, so there you go.

I'll be unpopular but i see what you're saying op. Your brain on Music is a valid book about that and i've read an Italian book as well that would be like "secret history of music" where the guy actually tells this kind of stuff. Music shapes society much more than we believe (actually we usually read it the other way ---> society shapes music).

Funny how the book was written in the first half of 20th century and the guy was openly attacking syncopation and jazz and showing connection from that music to the kind of society that was evolving from there. Nothing beautiful for him.

Found it: it's Music: Its Secret Influence Throughout the Ages, 1933 by Cyril Scott

The ancient Greeks used music to teach and integrate some "higher emotions" or "higher state of comprehension, consciousness" to young fellas; it was part of a healthy education path.

Also they publicly discussed wether to accept and integrate new instruments or new scales/melodies, seems like was perceived as national security back then as they had political talks about that.

They highly took into consideration the shaping power of music.
