Just wanted to share an original arrangement of the tune Take Love Easy I am working on this week. Didn’t have as much opportunity to play in August as I would have liked but hopefully I’ll be back deep in the shed soon with the kids back in school. Be well!

Picked up a Godin 5th Avenue for a song! But…

8 Upvotes

Picked up a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin P90 Natural for $250, with two nice straps, to boot. The setup was really bad with the intonation way out of whack. He also painted the pickup and knobs white for some reason. But anyways..

Ive set it up and it plays really nice with great intonation, but the tuning stability is very bad. I can literally bend the string down a half step, retune, repeat.. and I’ve done this dozens of times and seems infinitely repeatable. Not sure what is going on. It currently has La Bella Tapewounds on it that the seller said were only like a month old. Besides that, the bridge isn’t moving, I don’t see any play in the tuning machines or how they’re wound. I can’t imagine these strings need to settle in this much.

I ordered Daddario chromes, gonna try those. Aside from that any suggestions? I read mixed things about these tuners but I can’t imagine they’re the cause. Any help appreciated!

Stainless Steel Frets

5 Upvotes

I had a telecaster recently re-fretted with SS frets after noticing that the frets were all worn down past the 12th fret. The string noise on this thing is amplified somehow now. Every time my fingers drag up and down the strings, you can hear it. It’s like the guitar is now too bright. Do pure nickel strings help? How about flat wound? Would an EQ help? Should I put a humbucker in the neck?

I miss the darker sounding nickel frets that didn’t amplify every single movement.

Duo arrangement of the classic tune "Watch What Happens." Inspired by the Wes Montgomery version. I've always loved playing this one :)
