  2. Shielding a guitar: fact vs myth - The Gear Page

    www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/shielding-a-guitar-fact-vs-myth.847972

    Myth: Shielding will change the tone of the guitar. This is only true if you consider RF noise to be a part of the musical tone of a guitar. I consider RF to be unmusical noise. Totally undesirable. Common error: not doing a neat and thorough job, not grounding the shield properly.

  3. How Do You Set String Height At The Nut? - The Gear Page

    www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/how-do-you-set-string-height-at...

    So, for example, if I measure the frets at 0.039 high with the straight edge and feeler gauges, then I use a stack of feeler guages that adds up to 0.045 (0.035 plus a 0.010). Do the first 2 stings, then do 0.035 + 0.013 for a total height of 0.048). I learned this when I was about 15 from an old guitar tech at the music shop I worked at.

  5. Optimal electric guitar body shapes for seated playing?

    www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/optimal-electric-guitar-body...

    12. Feb 8, 2024. #2. My two most comfortable seated guitars are an SG and a Strandberg, although I play them in different positions. The SG I play normally, but with the Strandberg I play using the cutout on the body to rest the guitar on my knee in a more classical position. The neck on the Strandberg feels much closer to the body than the SG ...

  6. String height above the first fret. - The Gear Page

    First tune your guitar. Don't bother with intonation yet. Second, use a fret rocker or other suitable strings edges to check all your frets are even. If a fret is to high, the fret rocker will, um, rock, when it's on that fret and spanning the two frets either side of it, just like a see-saw (English English) or teeter-totter (American English).

  7. Weak response from high E string. Why? - The Gear Page

    www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/weak-response-from-high-e-string...

    A guitar will have a noticeably (and problematic) weak response from the high E. That is, that string will be significantly quieter that the other five. This has nothing to do with pickup adjustments or anything obvious. It's only occurred maybe 3 times out of probably 30 guitars but I have yet to hear an explanation that's any more than ...

  9. Fix for guitar where one string makes a 'sitar' sound?

    www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/fix-for-guitar-where-one-string...

    Oct 19, 2011. #13. Yeah that neer sound can be from the 1st fret if the slot is to deep or wide. A heavier gauge string is one solution. On occasion a new string. If you fret the string at the 3rd fret, the string should not touch the 1st fret. If you pluck and get a ring, all is good.

  10. Best Pickup for 12 String Electric? - The Gear Page

    www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/best-pickup-for-12-string-electric...

    I'm currently considering an Electric XII type pickup, a Jaguar pickup, a Rickenbacker Toaster pickup and a low output PAF like the Lollar El Rayo. I'd like something clean sounding as the guitar will have an inbuilt octave effect on the EADG to simulate the sound of a 12 string using the standard 6, so I think it will be better to dial in any ...

  11. Opinons on IYV guitars - The Gear Page

    91. Sep 25, 2023. #8. Apparently, IYV "inherited" some foreign NC machines from famous guitar brand names originating from China, Japan, and Korea, and put their own "spin" for genuine purposes, resulting in excellent electric guitars, with proprietary "Destiny CNC Wound ", reverse-engineered pickups, which are excellent.
