    Setup Reset

    I guess this is what's confusing me... In an earlier post, it was said that every measurement is dependent on something else, which I understand. Yet, if this is the case, how do I know my desired neck straiteness, when everything else if off? Also, does saddle position have no influence on...

    Setup Reset

    In all of the setups I've seen on YouTube, the guitar is already in decent shape, not all over the place like mine. If you got a new bridge, with the saddles set all the way back, and u didn't have the measurements from your previous setup, what height would you set the bridge to start?

    Setup Reset

    Hopefully I didn't make things harder on myself using that slotted ruler. I'm just trying to figure out where to start; the bridge, all the saddles, and possibly the neck (from slotted ruler) are out of position.

    Setup Reset

    I have a 2001 LP Classic infront of me and the setup is non-existant. The nut height is right where it should be, on both sides, and I tightened the trussrod so that the fretboard perfectly lines up and touches the slotted side of the ruler And that's where I'm stuck. The strings are too low...

    2000-2001 Classic vs Standard

    What are the differences between the Classics and Standards from 2000-2001. I've noticed that they have the higher output 496R/500T pickups and '60s neck shape. Beyond that, I can't see a difference. Thanks.

    MIC Epi LP's vs. MIK Epi LP's

    I was playing a 2006 (I think) Epi LP Custom today and it played great. Something was just off with the overall feel of the guitar; it didn't have the same vibe as the MIK Epi LP's I've owned. As far as Epiphones go, I've actually only owned 90's Epi LP's (MIK). From what I've read, the Epi LP's...
