David B Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Any recommendations on who best to set up guitars in the Aberdeen area (or who to avoid).Strictly speaking I can now do a decent set up on my own guitars - having used my kids' guitars to practice on!However, I have no electrical knowledge at all and when it came to wiring faults or pick up replacement I am definitely unable to do this myself. Same for replacing frets and nuts.Any opinions greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I believe Neil from Eric Euan (ex Bruce Millers, Prosound) is now working out of Capt Toms. Go see him, he's the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairyScaryMark Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I got a replacement intonation screw from RnB (costing 70p). The original one was unremovable using conventional menthods so I drilled it out following the instructions http://www.ibanezrules.com/tech/setup/rounded_head.htm .I was originally too stupid to notice that guide and sent the guy an email. He kindly emailed me a back pointing at his website.During the drilling, the bridge saddle got a bit damaged. I phoned up RnB but they asked for 10. I then went on another website (can't remember which one) and ordered one for 2. Today I finally set the intonation on my guitar (took an hour or so) and it sounds lovely. I still have the original (damaged) bridge saddle in use (as the new one wont arrive till Thursday). I plan to put the new one in, when I put new strings on my guitar.My advice; If you own a floyd rose and the intonation screw looks worn, get a new one (or m any) and replace the screw, next time you change your strings.I think learning to setup my guitar was a worthwhile experience and if your guitar (or fellow band members) fail, just before a gig. It makes it far more likely that you will be able to fix it yourself.</endmonologue> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
