Vintage V100 set up - P.1

Due to memory space issues I'm struggling to output set up videos in one complete part at the moment, so the last two videos have been in two parts.
Here I'm setting up Kevin's Vintage V100 'Paradise' - giving it a new custom adjustable Tusq nut and a precision fret level. The guitar was in pretty good shape before I started and played surprisingly well. This set up became more about fine-tuning the already low action and utilising the new nut to ensure great tuning stability.

I love theas guitars ...from the uk ..wilkinson sat and made the pickups to a marshall amp until it had a distinct sound the guitar that had a big influence on him was greeny wich he got to spend time with one day ,vintage is based on actual real famous vintage guitars and sounds ,called the working mans gibson ,their main guitars are the greeny and slash les pauls and the cherry sunburst tiger stripe (greeny was originaly a cherry sunburst r stripe that faded hence lemondrop)...ther are 3 different models of the above as they also come in artificial aged versions(stressed,)

Vintage V100s have always been great lumps of guitars; can't go wrong with them.

@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars definitely...they do good strats and the SG is supposed to be really good ,it's the dark marron worn type pf SG they have ,"and unlike epiphon who make their guitars a bit thiner in shape to gibson"...vintage has made the SG nice and thik and very old looking

Nice guitar,love the finnish actually. Btw Ive got a Epiphone SG standars 2020 model from dad and its a great guitar but it needed a set up and some filing on the higher frets cut it was a dead note on the 17 fret on the B string,very common. Now i have found that the pickups wich are epiphones alnico 2 pro are very low out put. Im looking at some Roswell pickups or if you got any suggestions of some affordable replacement pickups...little bit hotter but not too hot than the stock ones? I can live with the neck pickup, it is just the bridge that needs some more power so i dont need a boostpedal.

Warman do some very affordable humbuckers... worth trying some out (at their prices you can't really lose!). I recently put some of their single coils in a build of my own and genuinely didn't expect to like them (it was an 'all spare parts' build) but I've been surprised... more by the neck pickup than the bridge but pleasantly surprised.

This kinda thing makes me thankfull I know how to level crown and polish my own guitars. You're brilliant dont get me wrong but that method is flawed in a lot of areas.

"I collected my V100 today. I can’t put it down now. Amazing job! I’ve been waiting almost 40 years to have a guitar play this good! Same thing with my black strat that Sam worked his magic on last week. Highly recommended" The above is Kevin's feedback about my set up on this guitar and the Strat before it. You won't be surprised that I continue to listen first and foremost to my customers when deciding whether what I'm doing works or not :)

@@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars hey its all about happy customers at the end of the day and that's all that counts. As I said your brilliant but your method will end up causing more issues in the long run. But since I'm not nor will I ever be a customer I know you're not going to even think twice on it. All the best sir

@@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars just watch any luthiers videos or talk to one if you want to get arsey. I hate being negative but watching someone charge to butcher a fretboard in such a way is bad, I would assume your method is of your own design which if it works for you have at it and again if your customers are happy its all good. But I was always told dont argue with a fool, so I'll end here. Thanks for responding and all the best sir.

@@AnimalJohn85 there we go, the true nature of the critic revealed. ‘Arsey’ is the arrogance to arrive on a KZfaq channel and, ignoring thousands of very happy customers, get your ego-trip by declaring that you know better. And then, when challenged to explain in detail why my approach doesn’t actually work (or how I’ve tricked several thousands of customers into being very satisfied) your response is “go look at luthiers”. That’s ‘Arsey’.

There is no sound.

There IS sound Milan. The problem is phone KZfaq app. This happens at least once every time I upload a video; I go check the videos in KZfaq; there is sound. :-)
