What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[norminal]

I had to raise it about 1/8th of a turn on each saddle post, I need some finger meat to make it under the string or I feel naked.

It’s really crazy how much a .mm can do in regards to sustain and overall playability. this guitar has never had a sustain issue of any sort, but with the correct string height legato stuff is ridiculously consistent. I think because I was strangleholding some of the notes closer to the nut before my fingers are just used to the extra force, it takes effort to make a note strop ringing now.

Yeah, I’m a stickler when it comes to nut height. I file them down to the absolute lowest possible and always have a spare handy just in case. I even go as far as sanding down Floyd Rose lock nut shims to dial in the height even closer.

Finished setting up the San Dimas. Shimmed the saddles, set the intonation, and dialed in the string height. Man do absolutely despise intonating a Floyd Rose! But I’ll take it!

This is all I’ve been doing for the last 48 hours.



I got a hair up my ass last week to learn something really challenging and since I’ve attempted this song numerous times in the last 30 years, I’m hellbent on actually following through with it. I’ve learned bits and pieces over the years but never once got further than the first 8 notes of the intro. That EJ is a darn tootin’ good guitar picker.

He sure is, and difficult to replicate. Kudos for trying though!
That little frustrated fast picking near the end made me lolz though.

Awesome Drew love it, Im sure you have the skillz and talent to do it just takes some dedication to learn I'm sure
Oh BTW where is the signature Pick throw at the end ?
