Thursday 22 October @ Andy McGibbon's Guitar World, entry R40 pp
(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

Provisional programme:

Acoustic and electric setup:

• how does a string vibrate?
• action and intonation
• fret seating, leveling and crowning
• truss rods
• bridge action and neck angle
• nut action
• problem prevention
• (if we have time? installing acoustic pickups

Electric setup:

• short summary of last week
• different bridges available
• intonation
• string radius
• bridge action
• tremolo spring tension
• pickup height
• (if we have time? swapping electric pickups

Please post or PM me if you want to come, otherwise it is going to be hard to organise if all 20 forum members that were apparently interested all show. I can organise, just not at the last minute.
The plan is to give a presentation first and then have a mix of demonstration and diy under supervision. If you want to go for the latter, bring your own guitar. Demoes will be done by Andy on guitars he provides. You can of course watch while others stuff up their guitars (or look in jealousy how others transform their buzzing guits into singing superaxes). We can work in different groups on different work stations but there is a limit to the space.

sweet!

Anybody who has an interest in guitar setup or being able to do their own running maintenance really should attend this. Andy is a lovely guy and very experienced and knowledgeable. This is an opportunity to get a lot of good information from one of the best repair and setup guys in Gauteng.

I am in on both days .....

I'll be there on the 22nd. can't do 29th. Will be busy getting the living daylights kicked out of me.

Count me in for both......really looking forward to this.....

Im in for both ?

Wow so glad it got moved on a week, this Thursday was just a big no no. If all goes well I will be in for both, Nita unfortunately won't make either as she can't leave the college anymore during the week.

Im so glad the date moved ? im in both days

Count me and the better half in for both nights. thank you for persevering and making this happen most appreciated.\


Regards



Mike and Jen

I am coming for the first night

Turns out I can make it tomorrow, possibly next week as well ?

(Bump) CU guys n gals 2nite, don't forget 2 bring yer guitar!

It seems lots of people cant make the second night. Would it be possible to move it out one week? Just throwing the idea in there. I understand gearhead went through a lot of trouble to organize this.

Im there... looking forward to it! Bringing Blake Lively with, not the real one, but my Larrivee ? I think she needs a service... Will be to scared to "play" and practise with the setup stuff. but hey thats why we there.. to learn I suppose ?

Turns out that Tonight is a train smash.... > > >...... so I'll not be there but definitely there for next week.

I got a wee bit of a drive it seems to get there so don\'t wait for me. I am dependant on when my boss lets me go seeing as I am taking half day tomorrow unfortunately and then the probably 2 hour drive down that way.

I\'ll just fall in when I rock up. ?
