Pictural on string alignment issues
John Toner sent me this little pictural to illustrate:
Neck is out of alignment!!!
Pocket is snug, but strings are shifted towards the treble side.
We’ll loosen the neck screws about a full turn each.
Hold the body firmly and nudge the neck until the strings have equal spacing from the edge of the fretboard.
(Some people may favor a little more spacing on one side than the other and that’s ok too!)
Tighten the neck screws to set the neck’s position.
Check your setup for any adjustments you need to make, such as string height.
Now just tune her up, wipe her down and ship her out.
Nobody gets fired!
Time elapsed: 2 leasurely minutes.
No guitars were harmed during the creation of this tutorial.
Hope this helps.
