I just finished watching the whole series of 6 parts, as I have had one of these since 1993, and I want to fix the action a bit next restring.

I have the same tuners on my FG300A, made in 91 and bought in 93, so pretty sure they are original. A couple of them are stiff and a bugger to turn though. Has exactly the same cracks as yours too, but mine are more yellowed.

See StewMac's nut files and string action gauge for projects like this.

Just watched your latest video.explaining what your plan for the future now you are closing the shop.lets hope the engraving will be the best thing for you .also I was so surprised you mentioned me and my health problems .all the medication I am now on certainly helps.i am still trying to get some of my strength back but I have been told it will take some time .still now the weather is good at the moment I can at least get out for some exercise.also I am sorry your health is still causing you some problem.please look after yourself.mythoughts are with you.lol.

Does lowering the action change intonation? I have a low budget uke with high action. Intonation is high pitched at all frets. The saddle is not snug and leans toward the nut. I am prepared to lower the nut slots, install a compensated bridge, and upgrade to Flourocarbon strings. Your thoughts... RT in USA

"promosm"

don't you think you should have checked the height before you loosened the strings?

I have the same guitar, fg300a, and it has the exact same tuners. The gears are worn down and two of the buttons gave out. Am changing for sealed tuners that require a lot less muscle to use.

You could paint the pins with ca glue to make them fit tight also applies to the saddle! Obviously let the glue dry before you put them back in lol

I would lay it on a flat surface against a stop and use a wedge to push it together! Should close up nice and tight. Good luck.

I just got my Bat King Baritone last week. I'm brand new at music, so I'm having trouble fretting right now. Some of these triple cords are hard for us newbies. I chose a Uke because the strings are farther apart and I was sure that even I could pull this off. It looks like it will be a bit of work.

Wow 5 units.everything looks so good.I will be quite interested to hear how the engraving.goes.as it is completely different from your other projects.any way good luck with all you are planning.

You have been busy Paul, Shop and workshop looking great! Best of luck with the new ventures

Well done Paul.what a great pair of banjoleles.they look really good and sound great.

Promo`SM 🌺

Really cool

I had great success using plastic playing cards as a gauge between the fret and the string. The distance of the string to the neck became immaterial . John. C

Great explanations 😊😊😊

Yes indeed, your right about the tuners, they were 'closed ' and recently I acquired an FG 180, still in it's original red felt/lined case with nice 'closed' tuners- very nice 'n' smooth to operate 😊😊

I must compliment you on Your Excellent work standards, from listening to your introductory comments, that's So nice to hear, + it Always works out Best in the long run, kind regards Don from Hamilton NZ on my Wife's tablet Susan😊😊

Hi I love your video on the Yamaha FG 300A, but I think your date for the time Yamaha made these is quite a few years off, here in NZ 🎉I bought mine in the very early '70s, fantastic guitar for the money !😊😊

Well done Paul .that was a very enjoyable vidio.eagerly waiting for the next project.you put such a lot of hard work in all that you do.

Merry Christmas Paul the jacks with 3 contacts are stereo 2 are mono ❤ from England

That's my guitar. My missus bought it me for Christmas. I must say Paul is a great guy. Very genuine. Excellent service. I look forward to getting my paws on it. Not played for almost 6 years. Hopefully I've still got the muscle memory. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy his wares. I would definitely use him again. You are a gentleman sir. All the best. Ray

Re: The Nut. I don’t understand why people don’t just knock off the nut and sand the bottom down instead of using special files? (The stings should sit at the height of a fret wire as if it were a fret wire.) The pressure of the strings (at the nut) should hold it back on, but use a bit of glue to keep it from moving from side to side.

Great to see one of your own made instrument being played.just had to watch it again.

Hoping one day we will be able to see the instruments being played.

Wow Paul after watching all 13 episodes I am amazed that you can look at 2 pieces of wood and boxes and after a lot of hard work can make wonderful instruments.I am so impressed.and well done with getting more views on your videos.looking forward to the next one.

Looking good, if you’re using Nitrocellulose lacquer you only need to leave it for about 15 minutes between coats then you need to leave it for at least a week to dry. Thanks for the videos

Cool

I'd try adjusting the truss rod before lowering the saddle and nut.

I have the spruce top kmise baritone. I replaced the strings with Martin 630 Baritone strings. I like the sound. I haven't tried a Batking ukulele but I appreciate the comparison. I wish they would remove the cheap looking koi fish or whatever it is and simply put holes in the face of the instrument.

Glad to hear your business is growing and doing well, best of luck for the future Paul. Love watching your videos kind regards from England!

Hi Paul, on slotted peg tuners there’s a hole in the middle of the slot that the end of the lol just got to the part were you work it out!😊

Hi Paul, you work really hard on every episode, I enjoy all of your vdo! Thank you so much.

You went above and beyond with that string change, no likes not even from the customer😮 got one now

your getting a lot for a cheap ukulele .I couldn't make one for that price. little blemishes I wouldn't worry about but action does need lowering. thanks for your review.

Great job thanks for showing us the build

Looking forward to part 4! peace 😊

Thanks for the video you have a new subscriber

Hello, nice job you have done, very useful. Thanks

Hello from malaysia

👍

I’ve been watching Jerry for a couple of years now but with his recent retirement I have been at a loss for a replacement; I think I may have just found what I needed. I’m going to have a look at your website to get the gist of your work!!!

Really nice work. 👍👍👍 where did you get the scissors jack? I have 3 suggestions. 1) (Well more of an admonishment) Use a push stick. That's no way to file your nails.😁 2) Create a pair of long post tightening handles, for the jack, to stand above the jack. 3) Find a way to permanently attach a digital caliper, to be able to make, accurate, micro adjustments. The "iGaging EZ-Cal X-Large" Digital Display Calipers" is the best ~$35 you will ever spend. Available on the big "A". (YT does not like the real name) 😁✌🖖

Thank you my friend. Nice job on the sander.
