I'm going to attempt the height adjustment with the tilt screw like you did. I heard you say yours was originally at 9/64 which you called atrocious but I didn't catch what the recommended height spec is. Can you please tell me what you set yours to? This is a very pretty well built guitar, but being made in Mexico I'm guessing they didn't put much time into setup. Also I'd like to lower the action on the headstock end as well. Will I have to use my nut files or do they make an easy setup adjustment for that end as well? And I'm going to try a lighter gauge string because I'm used to lights and don't like the feel of the heavy gauge it came with. Do you have any suggestions on what tool to use to pull the bridge pins out with no to minimal damage to the bridge? The peg puller end of my string winder tool always seems to put a slight dent in the bridge of my cheaper guitar but I don't want to mar this one up. Great information and excellent video. There doesn't seem to be much out there on how to set one of these up. I appreciate you taking the time to post. This will help me a lot!
@@stringmanguitars4329 Thanks for getting back to me! I got it a little lower with the tilt yesterday but I think I'll have to check the relief! I'll have to see if I can do that.
Thank, just find this and jammed for straight hour. Mine is the jazz master but works just the same
Good to hear. Thanks!
That is very interesting....cool.
Amazing - thanks for the video! Did not know about the micro-tilt on the neck
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the kind words!
This is a great tutorial! I just got the same guitar on Reverb and the action was tragic. This helped me get it playable. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the kind words! You are so welcome!
Love the tilt function. Wish my MIM tele had it.
Indeed
Thanks for the vid!
You bet!

I believe I went to 5/64”.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I can't seem to get the tilt function to lower the action. Any help? Might it need some WD40?
Is your relief correct before you tried the tilt? Also you need to release the string tension and about a half a turn out of each neck screws.
