    Do your guitar a favor and take it to a tech!

    Unless you are real good at it yourself of course.

    Last week after I screwed up the intonation I decided it was time to take my guitar to a tech. I got it back today and I must say this guitar never sounded better!
    The tech did the intonation, replace the locking nut with a non locking one (I have a blocked floyd), set up the action and put on new strings all for €53. I think that's a resonable price but the axe plays and sounds terrific! The guy did a great job with the nut and he even got rid of most of the the nasty fretbuzz I was getting at the 5th fret on the G string, there's still some buzz there but not nearly as bad as before.

    I can recommend anyone to take your guitar to a tech, it makes a huge difference.

    Too bad I'm thinking of getting a heavier gauge strings. Guitar players are never statisfied...

      Looking at your gear list in your sig I'm shure you have the means of scraping a little cash together to get your guitar set up. Might help you getting rid of the buzzing problem .
      I just asked around in a few guitar shops and this was the closest and cheapest.(sp?)

          Nah i got it pretty much sorted out and playing great again, but if i had cash to blow i might risk it just to get that little extra bit out of it..

            I think I'm pretty good at set-ups now. I'm constantly tweaking it, so I don't think a tech would really help.

No other fate would even faintly do; an impassioned lack of alternatives moved my tongue; what for another might be a heartfelt wish was for me an absolute condition.
