Members Urinate Forever Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 You guys remember my strat? I painted it about a year ago. Well, it's been laying around for awhile and I want to make it work. The electronics are fine but the whole thing is just {censored}ed from the frets being rough to the action being incredibly high. Doesn't play at all. What should I do? It's a squier bullet strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eti313 Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 Shim the neck. Sand the frets. BOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Urinate Forever Posted February 17, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 I sort of want a new neck. This one has a funky profile with an odd radius. $90 is a lot though. Should I have someone more mechanically inclined to put it together for me once I get the neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 If it were me I'd just pick up an mim neck and lockung tuners. Call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thom Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd just fix the neck to the point where it's flipable for $50ish, to fund half of a new neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blueboxer Posted March 10, 2013 Members Share Posted March 10, 2013 Bro, hold the low e string on the first and last fret at the same time to check the relief. If you see no space between the string and the fret board in the middle of the neck it's cranked too tight, if there's a big space tighten that bitch. Tighten the truss rod that is.

Members blueboxer Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, any luck with the guit box? I'll hold off any more drunken truss rod advice. :robotindifferent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
