Who's interested in a GFSA Joburg setup workshop?

Gearhead · 2009-08-23T09:36:18+00:00

Hi all, following up on the Joburg gettogether (or however you spell that) I am looking for a bunch of names of people interested in a workshop on setups and small jobs on the guitar. I will post a preliminary programme below; please comment if you would like to see a change to this list (or have some other smartass remark ? ). After we get sorta enough names together we are going to look for a 'teacher', some victim guitars and a venue so don't hold your breath just yet. Should we run out of time on the evening itself we will obviously organise another one to finish up so don't say this is an ambitious list: Acoustic and electric setup: how does a string vibrate? truss rods bridge action and neck angle nut action Electric setup: intonation string radius pickup height Guitar care and upgrading: tuners tremolo bridges installing acoustic pickups changing electric pickups

So my proposal would be:

(electric and) acoustic guitar setup, doors open before seven, talk starts at 19h00.
Thursday 29 October @ Andy McGibbon's Guitar World, entry R40 pp
electric setup cont'd (no intended repeat of 1st night topics), same time

Please comment (well, if you have something sensible to say ? )

I know you're still working on the exact content for each evening, but can we take the above dates as confirmed?
