Takamine GD20 Acoustic Guitar - Shipping Damage Repair and Set-Up

I bought this otherwise new Takamine GD20 acoustic guitar as "Damaged for parts only." for less than $100 dollars. My goal is to get this guitar repaired and playing nice. In the next video, I'll be sanding it down and woodburning some art onto this guitar. Here is a link to the woodburning video.

I have the same guitar, it is really a good sounding guitar. Fingerpicking and strumming sound good. First thinking for a Guild but the takamine had the sound. Nice job you fixed this guitar with the solid cedar top. I really dit some adjustments as you did at the bridge and sanded the two bridge pieces. Yes, you gave me the tip.

Nice one Sean. Looking forward to seeing your wood burning.

Really enjoyed this video!

Awww thanks Lahle. Your the best!

[@bbbrown3408]

ori action looks really low??

[@docoluv9]

Question. If your trying to lower the action by .35 from the 12th fret you need to double that at the saddle. So in fact it would be. .70

[@SeanHaleWoodcraftsandMusic]

Hmm I am not qualified to answer that. This was a one time set up, but I am far from a guitar tech. I hope you found your answer

[@SeanHaleWoodcraftsandMusic]

Update. You were on the mark. I recently went back and sanded the saddle down quite a bit more. Thanks for your valuable feedback.

nice work...found you while looking into takamine gd20...can't decide on cedar top or the gd30 spruce top, which do you prefer?

[@SeanHaleWoodcraftsandMusic]

Sorry for the late reply. Did you wind up getting one? I really think they are decent guitars, but now I have a fishman acoustic amp, so I prefer my acoustics to have electronics` in them. Still though this is nice to take places
