Welcome in Kamikazie The place for kitchen's luthiers

rlspt : I'm not a trained luthier, by any stretch. never took a class. I did read a book or two over the years and visited a couple websites. I own only rudimentary tools, but I've always been handy with them. I just started messing about with my guitars when they didn't play like I wanted them to. I started with replacing saddles and nuts, then replaced a bridge or two, and before long... Nice sounding guitars with high action... I did my first neck reset on a cheap junky guitar that was in ruins anyway, so if I failed I was just making kindling, at no great loss to me or the world. It turned out okay, and after I did a few more it seemed fairly easy and the guitars played better after I was done.
So please take this as it's intended, an amateur demonstrating an operation he's done personally on his own guitars, for fun and education. It ain't the gospel, it's some idiot demonstrating his ignorance. Kamikaze luthiery personified.
okay?
thanks
