Playing action and precision fret levelling
UPDATE: Please note that you're welcome to disagree with anything I'm saying here but at least do me the honour of being sure you understand what it is that I do before you start arguing with me? Also, please recognise that I do it this way because a) I've thought it out in considerable depth and b) I have set up over 1000 guitars this way for happy customers. Under those circumstances don't be surprised if I take my cue from them and not you and your opinions. This video is in response to some requests to talk about how I set the playing action on electric guitars and about precision fret levelling using a low-cost 'tune-able' fret levelling tool inspired by the Katana (available online for around $145 if you search Google). Sadly, I'm unable to use that tool because despite buying it myself and recommending it unreservedly on my videos & FB page, the inventor objected to the words I used to describe it, the way I showed it in my videos and the manner in which I used it. As I still need to level frets that way I had no choice but to find an alternative 'lo-tech' way of doing the same thing - which is what you'll see me doing in this video. It's a little more fiddly than using the Katana but it works pretty well, giving much more precise fret levelling and with the guitar in a fully-strung playing configuration. If you've got $145, do consider buying the Katana - it's a great tool. If you don't, then this video shows how you can improvise your own version with excellent results. I intended to make two 20-30 minute videos covering these subjects but they kind of rolled into one, hence the length. I hope it's interesting for you.
