when you are checking the neck angle ( and this is what they taught me at Martin and how they do it), it is done without a load. If you want to see how the top moves that is done with a load. Working...

Just for adding another bit of confusion, and because it hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet: To my (limited) knowledge Martin is choosing from three different heights of bridges for the best...

Martin always used a few bridge sizes that is correct. At one time they had them as high as 7/16 . The neck set gauge has a tolerance , so as long as the go/no go gauge is inside that tolerance zone ,...

This is all great information and I'm admit that I spent nearly an hour at my workbench with my GE D-18, my OM28 and a 24" straight edge taking measurements and familiarizing myself with neck angles...

when you see a sudden change always check the top. Necks unless they fail move very slowly tops will be a faster change for the reason's mentioned. RH can play havoc on these guitars for sure. That is...

To add a bit more confusion to this we have to accept we have neck set geometry and fret plane geometry and both are related yet different. In neck geometry no tension and the neck fret plane is a...

I like the idea of Summer/Winter saddles. I just don't think it is an option on the Authentics having the long glued in saddle. Or is it?

agree drop ins are a different story thru saddles are not winter summer compatible as they are glued in.

I think I'm looking at getting a new set-up. New saddle cut? I really hate the thought of changing anything this soon, but I'm getting too much string buzz, especially 4th and 5th capoed at 1st or...

Necks unless they fail move very slowly. That is so true. I had a neck reset done back in 1995 on my '73 D-35 and that neck just hasn't moved! It's the same as it was right after Bruce Petros did the...

mediums to light would allow the neck more back bow as there is less tension.

The 37 is sounding good again but the action seems a little high up the neck. From top of 12th to bottom of low E is 1/8. Not sure how that translates into 64ths?

Would it be ok to have the bridge sanded again as it will be the second time to do so?
