Jon's 335-style build

[jonwhitear]

Nice looking guitar, so it's worth a bit of effort trying to get it set up properly.

Thanks for the nudge;-)

I had a look around for some replacement bushings, but couldn't really find anything, so I converted some spares that I had with the help my drill press and a file. The thought of pulling the bushings was a bit scary, but a simple jig and a test piece made et easier. They actually came out surprisingly easily given how hard I hit them with a mallet to get them in!



Now my action is about 1mm at the 12th fret on both high and low E strings. I am getting a bit of buzz, most notably on the B string. I'm going to play it for a while, and might raise the bridge a little.



Cheers,

Jon
