I feel so sad...

[Bapu]

My Epi LP is at the luthiers and won't be back until Wednesday earliest. ? 

 

On the flip side, it will have better tuners and will be setup by a pro.

So I guess that means when you get it back you will be playing in Am ?

Like Straummy, only the Am note. What else is needed?

Point taken. Now use all those octaves of A ?

Poor Bapu , all the thousands of VST's ,    an Alembic Bass and what ever else you got simply can't keep you from missing your Epi Lester

Yep ! you sound like a  healthy  normal home studio based musician  .

I wonder if it is any idea to do that to my 12-stringed?

I always wondered why there was so few 12-stringed for sale in shops until i bought one.

It is a messy business to tune it. And it takes like ten tries before it suddenly sounds perfect in tune.

---- To answer myself - probably not. It was one of the cheapest on Gear4Music. Not much chance to improvement i think. And yes, i can't really afford it.

/// Thanks, it's always good to get it off ones chest. ?

I got slightly burned getting a cheap 12 string... it has a built in tuner, which makes things 100 times easier, but the action was so low it was buzzing all over the place.

I removed the bridge saddle and sent it to a guy who builds new ones, asking him to make me one 0.25cm higher. Only cost me around £20 IIRRC.  It didn't completely cure it (F on the 1st fret of the high E string buzzes if I press too hard), but it's completely playable now.

My 12-string is the modelled version using the Variax guts built into my first custom guitar... ?

Ditto for me. My Line 6 James Tyler Variax is my 12 string. I only have to tune 6 stings*

*sadly I can barely manage that

You have a luthier? I have a guy in the back room of a music store who also repads clarinets.

Dude, casually mentioning your luthier is like casually mentioning your personal assistant, head gardener or therapist. 

[57Gregy]

Or that you have a Alembic.

[craigb]

Oh, c'mon guys!  Next you'll be saying that post count actually matters! ?

It only matter to Bapu.

"Sorry craigb has 100's more to offer" 

[InstrEd]
