hey here’s an idea how about you mention that when you turn the screw on the bridge saddle the harmonic goes out of tune so then you have to tune the string again. in most cases this is a vicious cycle where you tune your string then tune the screw and tune the string and tune the screw until the saddle screw comes out. no guide seems to mention this.
thank you. i never bothered about the screws and took notice about this thing with the octave to be fine.
so this is how you do a setup on a strat?
~shreds~”okay sounds good!”
god i thought it be much harder than that xD cheers!
thx….but what about the other strings ? Is the way for the string setup same as for the “e” string ?
hey…my guitar buzzez…if im not playing it..it buzzez a lot….what should i do?
does the level of the saddle affect the intonation?
once you have set the intonation should you ever have 2 change it again.
it doesnt matter where u put the saddles on my guitar when it has new strings the intonation is perfect.but after about a week hte high strings go flat and if you move the saddles right to the top and rite to the bottom it doesnt make a difference>
HELP
a. check amp and cables for problems
b. get new guitar
c. replace pickups (for strat single coils dimarzio or lace sensors are good)
d. get the boss ns-2 that eleminates all buzzkill and feedbacks (worth the investment)
Did you try tuning the strings? I mean not the saddles, but the machine heads?
uhm dude…my guitar is new…but its only local made…not a fender….and im using a zoom g1x…maybe i should consult a guitar technician..
does changing ur pick-ups realy hard?? help,,,
if ur desperate get the boss ns-2, it gets rid of all buzz and feedback no matter what amp, guitar, and effects you use
@CoombesKidd ok..
yes
turn down distortion, could be fret buzz
how mutch does this guitar cost!
300 to 400$ maybe…
or maybe i was a fret buzz…how should i solve it??
you can ask your local guitar shop to do it for you tho
i just bought my strat to the shop in order to change my brdige pickup, theyre chargin me 25£ (brittish pounds)
Thank you so much! 60 bucks my ass! It’s free on youtube.
adjust the action, or you can get it setup completely for 50 dollars
thats a Fender American Standard HSS its Cost Around 1200$ U.S
it depend on your budget the cheapest kinds are $50-$75 but electrics are $100 dollars with the amp included
