Hi Everyone,
I run into this on probably every guitar I own. Manufacturers give specification measurements for the overall setup of the guitar, and yet I never seem to be comfortable with a guitar set to factory specs. I live in the place beyond that. In other words, I have my own specs, and when I simply can't get a guitar to measure up I get rid of it. Whether it's Teles, Strats, Les Pauls, Custom 24s, Santana's, or what ever, they all have to perform as I need them to, but some need more coaxing than others. Some are just on the edge of meeting my expectations. The guitars I have to coax along the most are some of the more expensive ones. Between bridge height, saddle height, pickup height, and truss rod relief, I usually don't get this soup of adjustments to feel right and still fall within factory specs.
How do you feel about that, have you ever been there?
Thanks
