Great episode and Jonny is obviously a master. One reason he might prefer to hear the 19th fret harmonic a fraction sharper than the fretted note is because the natural harmonic there is actually sharper than the fretted note. Guitars are equal temperament instruments so natural harmonics and fretted notes should only be the same at the octave and unison points e.g. open, 12th and 5th fret harmonics. The other harmonics wont match and the 7th and 19th fret harmonics will always be a little sharp compared to the frets.

Every new guitar, no matter how custom shop or cheap, needs a good setup before you make your final decision. This is the argument in favor of finding a nice boutique shop. They know their customers will pay for the quality service up front, so they'll take the time to give each guitar a really nice setup when it arrives. Whereas the cheapest listing you can find on reverb very well may not... Not to make you paranoid of using reverb for good deals, but highlighting how important it is to have a good relationship with a local shop.

The measurements are a sure fire way of making your guitars feel consistent. I set strats up with 10'000 inch relief between the 7-9 fret and I play hard so have 1.5-2mm or 4-6 64ths string hight. I play with 10s so I can pick up a Strat and play another of my strats and they both feel consistent in how they play. If you only have 1 guitar or want each guitar set up for depending on how you want that to feel then you start with the measurement as a starting point then tweak up or down as needed. For me I know if I broke a string when I was gigging I could pick up a backup Strat and not miss a single note because the action and truss rod was not all different
@Furtheronmusic
5 жыл бұрын
I always start with a measurement of relief and action. But I still vary that, i.e. 7.25" radius, more relief and higher action than a 9. 5" or 12" radius. But I always normally end up just tweaking for feel at the end.

Lovely video. Shows a skilled , humble, contented craftsman with a great personality. I wonder though, what did cause the rattly fretted note? The truss rod seemed fully slack, could that have been vibrating sympathetically? There are so many things ( gubbins!) that can rattle on a Strat. I'm OCD on having my guitars sound as pure as I can get them unplugged , indeed I tend to not even bother plugging in a guitar if I'm trying it out in a shop and it's poor acoustically. More Jonny!!!

Intonation: Yes, the harmonic on the 12th fret should match the fretted note because the octave is exactly double the frequency. But the harmonic at the 19th fret should not match the fretted note because the fretted note is governed by equal temperament, but the harmonic is simply 3x the open string frequency.

Hey Dan! Fender makes a little stiff spring to go in the vibrato arm hole....it will take up any slop that you still may have, works GREAT! You don't nescessarily have to screw the arm in as far either. Be careful if you take the arm out after, the spring can fall out if the guitar is turned over.

His descriptions are really inspiring and interesting. Maybe we see something more of him in the future. So thanks to Jonny for sharing his knowledge with us.

Thanks, Dan. Extremely helpful to all players. It suddenly struck me, Dan, that you think and visualize at the molecular level, where electrons live. Ed is at the microscopic level where scratches and imperfections live, just out of plain sight. Everyone should grab a magnifying visor as Ed has. (they are inexpensive) You'll be amazed at the machine scratches left on at the factory. Think about the cost increase for the hand-work required to offer a perfected guitar. A magnified look at frets and fretboard for affordable guitar is eye opening. With great faith and confidence, I leave all my guitars in the hands of my friend, Larry Cragg (please look him up) first discussing only the string gauge for each string, and he does his magic, right down to his own pegs on the acoustics. It all makes a cumulative and dramatic difference. Larry has changed my life. Every player will benefit from a proper and detailed setup. The difference between off the shelf and a proper setup is remarkable. (p.s. Nice Curt Mangans...)
