Bapu Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 So I guess that means when you get it back you will be playing in Am ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurre Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 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. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 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. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
