Hopefully you don´t need to do all of it, sometimes it is a hit and miss what you get when buying these cheap guitars. Usually the frets need some attention at least. Good luck with your Harley!
@@jukka9333 Thanks mate, appreciate it. Yeah, cheap guitars can be super hit or miss but tbh you can have that with even more expensive ones, I'd rather just buy a cheap guitar and accept that I'd have to do the work myself. I have a TE-62 that I bought a couple of years ago, sounds lovely but needed a bit of work, I shimmed the neck, levelled the frets (they were all over the place) and now it plays amazingly well. I'm getting the ST-20 as I want to see how good/bad the cheapest Harley's are and also just to do mods as I like fixing guitars up and making them play better than most people's £700 fenders haha.
@@samarth1906 I get it since I´m just the same. It is great fun to work on these inexpensive guitars and dig the real potential out of them. And usually they are good players after some work.
Because I didn´t want to lower the bridge saddles so that the screws would be carving the skin of my palm. I tend to rest my palm on the bridge when I´m playing. The saddle screws are quite sharp on these cheap bridges.
Buying this guitar to do exactly all of what u just did lol
