Not quite my cup of tea, and it’s got a bit of a problem, a couple of low spots. High spots are easy, to lower two high frets down to the rest is quite easy but I’ve got to bring the other 22 down to the low 2, if you follow my drift! With the […]

Epiphone Les-Paul, Fret dress and Bone nut
Epiphone make some great guitars, they can just be a little inconsistent sometimes. The action on this one’s way too high. I don’t need to measure the amount of neck set, I can see it’s way to large. It’s also got a broken switch, but that’s an easy fix. First thing then, take off the strings, […]

Some of the frets are very uneven so they’ll need levelling if it’s ever going to play nicely. Before removing the strings it’s always a good idea to mark exactly where the floating […]
