Thanks everyone
ffsoo3 I appreciate your input , 5/64'' looks like a good place to start , which is about 0.046'' lower than where I am now so I expect the difference in feel will be substantial
Michele thanks for putting up that clip, I can understand why this would be expensive, designing and building custom cnc machines is not cheap, Its nice to know that one of
these is in OZ and I will do some searching to see If there are any Luthier's in my area, just in case I stuff everything up :laugh:
Ken Thanks for your info mate I also see you set yours at 5/64'' cheers
Wiley Mate you always spend so much time and put so much thought and detail into you responses to not only this thread but all of them I just wanted to thank you as they
have been a great source of information to me and I'm sure to lots of other members here at TG.
With the info from this thread and rd's on boning Ive decided not to change my plastic bridge yet, I'm just going to do a complete set up with new strings and then when
I am happy with the set up I'll change the bridge to Tusq to improve the sound. Hey I may not need to up grade after all but then again a lot of you seem to need
different set ups for different styles of play sooo I will still need a new guitar after all :cheer:
Thanks again to all of you
Cheers
Scott
