set up question....

Sign in to disble this ad
i have a fender mia p. i used the download off of mr gearhead to do a set up.

i have the neck set with a little tiny bit of a bow to it, because i play hard. when i set the string height, i based it on what was in mr gear head. since i have a slight bow, should i bring the saddles up a tiny bit to compensate for the slight bow? when i play soft there is no buzz or rattle but when i play hard i get some. i alos think that any note on the a string is dieing off too soon. would this be a cause of that?

i think the string is just on it's way out. the neck has a very subtle relief to it. unlike my guitars which are all pretty flat.

i just brought up the saddles a a 32nd and it got better.

if only i could get the one e string saddle to budge, friggen thing is like rusted in or something...
