Electric Guitar Setup!

I got my electric guitar set up today! My coworker has about 40 guitars and has learned how to properly set them up, so I let him have a crack at my new acquisition. He found that the previous owner had locked the floating bridge down to make tuning easier, which isn’t exactly the way the bridge was meant to be treated so he set it back to float properly. This also eliminated some of the fret buzz that was happening because of that setup, did some fine tuning with the bridge and I was set!

I also had my first experience changing strings today. My coworker accidentally left his wire cutters in his other bag (it was about the only tool he DIDN’T have) so he explained to me how to do it and the eccentricities of doing so with a floating bridge. So I came home and gave it a shot, and only screwed up one string that I cut too short prior to tightening it down. After a quick tuning, now I am ready to rock!
