Thanks man that means a lot!

Thanks man!!

A pleasure dear chap. If you get stuck give me a shout.

A pleasure man

Happy to help dear chap

It's killer for that. I put a small amount on every contact point of the string, it really helps with tuning stability

Defo could do a full video on these. My absolute favourites are the Gotoh Intune Saddles they look like the standard vintage ones but with the intonation points in the correct place, and they don't cost the earth too which is an added bonus.

@@MontysguitarsandpickupsI'm looking forward to it so much I've subscribed! In fact, the subject area is wide enough for two videos; one on compensated saddles, and another one focusing on solutions where the entire Tele bridge is replaced by a six-saddle bridge (Fender make one themselves), or a more contemporary bridge such as is found on the MIM Nashville Deluxe and Player Telecasters, or even the American Elite series. In each video it would be really interesting to see a comparison between the results you were able to attain just doing an accurate-as-possible intonation setup with the traditional 3-pair saddle arrangement, and then seeing to what extent it could be improved by either using compensated saddles (first video), or changing the bridge entirely (second video), on the same - I would suggest affordable - guitar. Just suggestions. I'm sure whatever you put out will be fascinating for Tele aficionados.

I do on my guitars but I love the silky feel you get with freshly polished frets but you don't need to do the t-cut every time. I would recommend naphtha and instrument food every time though. Cheers M

@@Montysguitarsandpickups Sweet. Thanks. Just ordered some can't wait for it to make it across the pond ;)

Glad you liked it man. The nut files are the only real luthier tools you'll need the rest you can get from any hardware store. You used to be able to get single files of the gauges you want but looking around they don't seem to be sold like that now. I'd call a Luthier tool place and see if they can sort you out

@@Montysguitarsandpickups I looked around and you can get sets for whatever strings you use...so 10-46 for example. But I wonder about what to think of when you start on the nut/sadle ... Angles and depth and so on. Cus if you file away to much its not much to do...

@@mudfly3 Hey man sorry for the delayed reply. This is a tricky one but there are ways to fix it if you do go too low, I'll try and do a video specifically on that very soon.

@@Montysguitarsandpickups Hey man, thanks alot, that would be awesome. I´m guessing that fix would be the superglue/bakingsoda trick ? ?

@@mudfly3 A pleasure. Yeah that's one of the best ways.

Yep

Yes exactly, it takes a little longer to stretch in but its worth it

Hey dear chap, glad you liked the video. I can gladly help you out with that. For getting booked in and costings etc email mail@montysguitars.com and the lovely George can fill you in with availability and all the info. Cheers Matt

@@Montysguitarsandpickups Thank you so much Matt , I really appreciate it I will get on to this soon as I get the chance and the dosh ... Thank you again buddy ps... it was me that asked you on insta about re-stringing my Ibanez RG to the E-BALL size 8 but I haven't got a clue how to reset the tremolo :) lol .. thank you ASH

@@ashleysidddons784 Well I'll get a video sorted for that then man!! Just got to get my hands on a guitar with a floyd

Yes exactly, you can use soap too

@@Montysguitarsandpickups awesome, thanks.

We have some more bass things arriving very soon

@@Montysguitarsandpickups thanks for replying Monty, that sounds amazing, please let me know if you plan on doing pickups and also what products work best on dark ebony bass wood : ] love the channel

Happy to help

I don't do usually

@@Montysguitarsandpickups -be super careful. Tape them up and vacuum particles carefully after you finish. A small particle can finds its way into your pickups and destroy them.

@@GIBKEL thanks for the tip

Hosco

The best way is with lighter fluid and a toothbrush. That will get rid of any stubborn grime. If it is a lacquered board I would polish it with Muc-Off miracle shine, if it is an unlacquered board you Instrument Food or something similar.

@@Montysguitarsandpickups Thanks. Just ordered a can of Muc Off. I’ll use it on my bicycle, too. 😎👍🏼

1650 now

it's about trauma Jefferson . Releasing tensile tension all at once can store unnecessary compensatory tension aberration for posterity. Physics of wood fibers is interesting. Study recurve bows.

Most of the guitar techs I know. I doesn't damage the wood and gets removed with the lighter fluid / remoisterising process.

Done

@@Montysguitarsandpickups It's All about sound and audio right? :) You can make a microphone like you do pickups... very good pickups. Same thing different name. Ok I'll stop ;) Thanks for the video!

@@Lorak669 tbh i did have a mic on when we recorded this but the card messed up
