How I set string height (for absolute best low action)

[@AxeandYouShallreceive]

Best Tech in southwestern Ontario by far!! Nice shirt too, haha.

Thanks! Super appreciated!

[@Shaun0169]

I love these videos Steve..Very informative

[@guitar-niche]

Thanks!

[@WildDonkeyStudios]

Definitely one of the most informative videos I've seen. Well done Steve, I've learnt some good stuff!

[@guitar-niche]

Thank you so much!

[@dlmyrs]

A rare Steve sighting! Thanks for doing this video and showing how to do it by feel. I got a Guilford (humble brag) last month and it has a wraparound bridge. Appreciate ya!

[@guitar-niche]

You're welcome!

14:18 "...first-string notes are pinging nicely..." Can you explain just what you mean by this? I think it might be a quality I've been hoping to get rid of, but maybe I'm wrong to want that.

[@guitar-niche]

By "pinging" I mean they're ringing out pure and clean without interference - this is usually a desirable thing :)

[@dividedwords]

@@guitar-niche I thought perhaps you were referring to notes on the e-string having a pinging quality. This is something I hear on my electrics (a 335-ish and a strat-ish). Their action and relief seem to be in the right range, but it's very easy to make those e-string notes go from nice to snapping or popping. Or pinging.

Hey Steve, glad I stumbled on to your channel! When you do truss rod adjustments, do you notice it can take a little while for the neck to "relax" after adjustment?

[@guitar-niche]

Absolutely. Sometimes changes in neck compression can take a day or more to be fully realized.

[@mikehoehn1475]

What about pickup height ?

[@guitar-niche]

That's a topic for another video :)

[@swissanthony]

I just do the same as Leo Fender….He knew a thing or two. 4/64’s ( 1.6mm ) both sides . Neck relief of 0.08 at 8th Fret……Anything else sounds bad. Those strings need room to resonate to get the best tone.

[@guitar-niche]

Leo was quite the player...

[@14TacomaDR]

Nice guitar

[@guitar-niche]

Yes it was!

[@Sim-q9t]

the neck looks like a yardstick or S/t and the bridge?! that's all u get>>//?? idk about these PRS

[@willhaylock3769]

3 64ths on the bass side is 1.2mm - that sounds far too low to avoid buziing if you are anything other than really gentle with you plucking. Hmmmmmmm 1.5mm is about as low as you gan get away with on even the best made guitar.

[@guitar-niche]

It was low yes, and the guitar didn't mind.

[@Sim-q9t]

nice prs lol

[@gabestorm7150]

Yeah, thank you for showing the audience how you did it. WASTE OF MY TIME. WHO CARES HOW IT LOOKS?

[@guitar-niche]

LOL! Calm down. Lots of folks like the aesthetics. Want me to edit each video to fit each person's particular tastes? Show me the money! Have a great day :)

[@faustorossi5524]

I don't like this video, you shown us nothing .... just a lot of bla bla bla.

[@guitar-niche]

I have nothing positive to say, just like you.

[@faustorossi5524]

@@guitar-niche I was here to listen, you were to show us something. We both didn't

[@guitar-niche]

@@faustorossi5524 Okay, show me your personal example of how to improve.
