colb Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Define "set up for slide"? Has there been a new nut added or has the action been raised? Have a look at the guitar, at the first fret are the strings still reasonably close to the frets? If they are then the action's just been raised - if the strings are roughtly the same distance from the frets all the way up the neck then you need a new nut. It's likely that the action's just been raised - so you need to get an allen key and lower the saddles - then you need to adjust the truss rod and re- intonate. If you're not sure how to do that your best bet is to pay someone to set it up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a Blues guy, you owe it to yourself to learn slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
