Hiiiiiiigh, action. When I first strung it up, it would bend about a quarter tone if I tried to fret up to the fifth fret, and about half way from a quarter tone to a semitone on the seventh fret.I…Continue

Sean Rush replied to Pauly Bogdan's discussion Neck touching inside of box lid...yes or no?

"I cut the recess notch in mine for a simple reason: electronics. It also made it easier for me to get the action right, as I just cut down a bit more of the non-recessed part on the tail end to get the neck to angle down a few degrees."

Keni Lee Burgess replied to Sean Rush's discussion Good beginner song tab I made up for ADF# tuning

"I offer a clear and complete application of the "Movable Chord Method" for ADf# tuning on my instructional video CD 6. It can easily be applied to 4 string (DADf# or ADf#a) and 6 string (DADf#ad) guitar too. Using your…"

Sean Rush replied to R Borza's discussion cigar box amp plans

"I've made my own version of the Ruby that I call the Onyx. It's good if you like a lot of distortion, but if you want a cleaner amp, I'd use a dual op amp preamp into a TBA820M."

String Action

"Dan, thanks again for this. My action is perfect now!"

Sean Rush replied to Sean Rush's discussion Finished my first build! But...

Sean Rush replied to Sean Rush's discussion Finished my first build! But...

"Yeah, I'm thinking. I can physically bend the neck down, and the action is perfect as long as it's bent. I think the easiest way at this point is to have somebody bend it at the right spot and then while they're holding it down, use…"

MichaelS Country Boy Guitars replied to Sean Rush's discussion Finished my first build! But...

"Angeling the neck will solve the problem, you will have to experiment how much to angle it to get just the right action. From your last post it sounds like you have done this and are on the right track. "
