I know a lot of people on the site have handmade guitars , that presumably the maker presents to you in the optimum condition.

However my guitars are factory made. i think most of them come from China. Frankly i couldn't afford guitars made of the material i wanted when they were manufactured anywhere else.

i'va had Martins over the years - but they've, which i suppose were they exception - nice well constructed guitars - but ultimately not what i wanted. but even the martins , i had to tweak - change the bridge, the nut, the strings, the action, etc.

However I'm experimenting with bridge pins at the moment, Rosewood ones for the llx rosewood yamaha. Brass ones for the Fender Paramount which seems to have settled the tuning problems, i was experiencing with the shitty plastic ones it came with.

I've bought a set of steel bridge pins, and bone ones as well.

anybody else tweaking at the moment?
