Claims “trick” will give you more sustain
Doesn’t let let notes ring out
exactly
Magically works. Good one man! 🤜🤛
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Just done this to my strat that I've owned for 3 years, I feel it has made a difference and I can even feel more vibration through the body.
Great to hear that, makes it more comfortable to play.
I was skeptical of this but it truly works
It made a noticeable difference thx! :)
Glad it worked for you!
Wowww this is a useful video!
I've been encountering this problem, My acoustic strat tone is dead so thank you for this video
Good video. I've been doing this since, well since I bought my first electric. First thing I do when I get a new guitar home. Just makes sense, you know. Better contact, better vibration transfer.
Great share brother.
mike prettyman agreed and I always try to apply this when setting up guitars. Thanks for watching and more videos on the way soon.
Awesome thanks!!!
Just did it to my strat....what a difference ❗️👍
Oh ya and well done and nice playing dude!
Thanks for checking out my video and I appreciate your compliment! Always working on more content, so feel free to drop a comment anytime, I try to answer all.
You had way more sustain before dude ! it's clear on the video
I could tell a minute difference, but not enough to make me do it. Thanks for the video! Good vid. Can you do a video on strat and les Paul pickup covers on and off? Thanks
Thanks
I've done this. It does works. Just be careful not to over tighten those neck screws.
I did it on my 2010 American Special.
It really works!
Agreed I think it makes a very sight improvement. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! More videos on the way.
I'd like you to feed the results through a program like garage band so we can visually see the tails, peaks of the waveforms. To focus on sustain I'd see if you can play slower to allow the notes to trail off. In this way we can see if there is signal which trails off slower after the tightening.
Agreed that would be a good experiment. Would love to try it in a future video.
6:32 You got me watching the whole video haha. Thumbs up 👍
🎸Well I’m sure you have excellent taste then! Thanks for the compliment and tuning in.👍 to you!
A better way to compare the sustains would have been to use an oscilloscope to watch the decay of the waveforms and measure the time. Also using exactly the same notes and deflections would be necessary so the before and after notes start at the same amplitudes. I suspect that unless the neck is already too loose (and thus absorbing some of the energy), the loosening and retightening won't make any difference.
Yes that would make an interesting experiment, thanks for viewing!
I did this and it ruined my guitar... the same note has now sustained for 3 days...
Was it a Stratocaster? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
But being a Strat, it was out of tune within seconds
Joshua Sealock my strats stay in tune just fine. Set up the nut and bridge correctly with quality tuners and they are fine instruments. What issues do you struggle with?
Very funny, but if you hear the same note ringing for 3 days, it's not the guitar's fault -- you have a medical condition called tinnitus, otherwise known as ringing in the ear.
@@odontomatix dude it was a joke
Nice experiment. There maybe a slight difference. I'm sure there are a lot factors that are at play, humidity and how well the guitars are cared for. Either way, nice and Great tone! What kind of Amp are you playing through? Settings? Pedals?
Thanks Wolf! Amp was my Fender Supersonic straight clean channel no effects/pedals so you could hear the sustain without other influence. I've got some other improvements planned for the Pearl Strat and I'm going to re-build a Squire Strat in a future vid. Lots coming!
Thanks for the video, does pickup height matters for the sustain? Thanks
The main concern for the height is getting even sound across all strings and not too close where you can get a warble effect from the pickup magnets. I plan to do a future video on this, thanks.
Rich Hoffman thanks , so whats your recommendation height of the pickup from the strings? Should it be closer to the pick guard / body of the guitar?
lower the mics = lower output but more sustain
Higher mics = more volume but less sustain
dont overdo it. To much either way will have negative effect
It is also dependable to a certain degree the gauge of your strings you use. Thicker strings = more magnetic pull = more output.
To me, everything adjustable on an electric is a matter of preference. String height, mic height, tremolo tension. Some want power, some want sustain. Adjust and try.
This video really helped me out! I can't describe how thankful I am. I just have a silly question: do I need to redo the process often, or when changing strings, or this is a one life time thing?
I don’t do it every time I change strings but maybe occasionally when the weather or season changes.
@@RichTones Thanks for the tip , this method really made a difference on my guitar!
I have heard you tune the guitar then do the loosen and tightening of the neck then re-tune. But it seems your way worked too :-)
Yes, both would work, I just had de-tuned slightly, I may try full tuning next time to experiment.
cool video, keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
Nice, think it sustained more, I always do this with screwed on necks. But it's not easy to hear sustain when... you're playing several notes per second! Doh!
Lol I was thinking the same thing
0:26 alright, rub it in why don't 'cha 💰
How this possible.
😂😂😂😂 funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
Lenny!
Great song👍isn’t it?
Hi Rich, just subscribed. Great vid by the way. Regards, Venuss. London UK
Venuss Sharman wow thanks for the compliment, and I really appreciate every subscriber! Thank you and planning more vids as I type.
@@RichTones Hi rich, have known about this substain mod from many years back. You're the only one that i can ascertain who actually took the time to educate about this. Looking forward to next vid. Most certain it will be just as good as this one. Kindest, Venuss
This makes no sense to me because the holes dictate how the neck is set. If you loosen it and then tighten it again the neck will be in the same spot lol.
Yes it’s the same spot but the idea is that that it snugs it up slightly
You want to hear a great version of Lenny? Check out Ally Venable playing it in a live video. Amazing.
Very cool thanks for the suggestion!
What this does it that it pulls the neck closer to the guitar, unite them more towards the body for more resonance.
Yes gives it a nice snug fit!
what i did is i just said fuck this, and lifted my pick ups a bit. the sustain isnt as long as id like it to be but its like 7 seconds longer so yeah... kinda helps a bit for Europa by Santana
Welp, that is one solution of many available.
Out to lunch on this. I gave my strat copy away and need another. But I have a Les Paul, so why would I want to do this? The nature of the strat is endearing to me just as much as my Les. If I wanna sustain I play Les. If I wanna twang I play a strat or similar. Different guitars for different sounds right? I had a Cort Matt Murphy signature I gave to my son that splits the humbuckers and makes a pretty sweet sound. I like that guitar a lot and it does cover some single coil sounds but it aint no strat - it sustains too long and has a more rigid...um....I don't know....um....rigid TONE? Not enough overtones? Whatever it ain't a strat. I'm looking at an Epi S800 right now. Or Mexican Strat. Gotta be black on black!!!
Agreed, its all about whatever you prefer, and the sound you are going for. I've got several different brands, and types, and I'm always tinkering. I'm a huge tone chaser at times and is always a challenge to see what you can come up with. Thought this was helpful for players who only own a cheap Squire, on one bolt on guitar and would like to experiment with it.
@@RichTones Oh ya great video and good info. Most folks would want more sustain for sure. I'm a weirdo. All my friends attest to it!
Sustain is for violins!
Just popped in and said to myself, "sounds like mine" then it flashed before adjustment. But my problem is gorilla grip, so, for me I need better technique, instead of trying to crush the neck into diamonds....killing frets instantly!
yes - technique is a huge part of your tone of course, this tip just makes a slight improvement. Thanks for commenting and good luck
bit.ly/Richhoff Let me know if you’ve tried this on your guitar? And then check out another great tip here: ua-cam.com/video/ycHlpO-tLCE/v-deo.html
It's not much different. The sound is seem the string is too low. If you want more sustain lift your bridge higher. That's same as after have adjust the screws.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Your action is way too low or you have some high frets. Buzz buzz buzz
Yes probably was back then, I've since had the guitar Plek'd and plays really nice now. Guitar is old, so frets are really low, so its a balance between action and accepting very slight buzz, which is not noticeable at amplified volumes. thanks for watching!
I didn't even continue listening to this video the strings have a Sizzle sound right from the start have you trying to play that meaning they're too low which produces a tinny sound when playing individual notes that's hitting other frets sorry your video doesn't rate with me
Or you could just buy a Les paul for better sustain!
I hear those sustain for days….
No difference 😂
