This is a rewiring and setup of a custom made guitar by Keysel.
The guitar was purchased new and just arrived, but the internal wiring is messy, and the internal wiring is already broken and in a position where there is no sound + the selector is not working properly even though it is brand new.
When we checked the inside, we found that the selector was installed backwards, so the rear sounded in the front position, etc.
It is unthinkable because the manufacturer used to be quite good.
There are many manufacturers whose quality deteriorates as they become popular and well-known, and Keysel was no exception.
At the customer’s request, we added a mini-switch, and with the same wiring as another guitar he brought in, we added a front + rear tap sound like a Telecaster when the switch is turned on (function to mix the front sound with the signal and tap the rear with the mini-switch). Blender + coil tap wiring switch.
It is quite accurate and easy to play. The manufacturing precision has not been compromised, but it seems likely that they are understaffed or that the wiring and other finishing touches are left to inexperienced people.
In the past, the quality of this manufacturer was very good, and I have recommended them on Youtube, but things seem to have changed in recent years.
Please keep up to date with the latest information and check back daily.
When I send out information, I am not responsible for whether the information will always be the same, so please always keep your antennae up for updates.
They said it was purchased new, but the wiring is wrong and the controls are not correct. The volume does not work and the sound is cut off.
The overall wiring is not correct, so we re-soldered the entire unit and fixed the wrong wiring to get it back to normal.
The volume does not work because there is just a mistake in the wiring, so we fixed the wiring and the volume now works.
I believe what the customer told me, but if this is a new purchase, it would be unusual not to know this on inspection, wouldn’t it? I think it is unusual that this is not detected in the inspection if it is a new purchase.
I believe that there may be some manufacturing errors because of the low price range, but the sales side should have inspected the product and returned it for repair, etc.
I feel uncomfortable that both the manufacturer and the retailer are passing the product on to the customer.
I wish more people in the musical instrument industry would think about the people who buy their instruments and do work that they can be proud of.
This industry is no different from big motors, and I don’t think this environment will improve unless someone exposes it and makes it a problem.
This is a Bacchus Stratocaster with nut groove cut adjustment, peg replacement and setup.
This model was introduced on Youtube. It is a very good guitar for a new price of 20,000 yen.
The sound when the pegs are replaced and the nut groove is cut is shown on Youtube, which you may find interesting.
The sound is good and the condition is good, but you may be concerned about the high nut height and the fret side, which are common in the low price range.
However, I think this is a model that can be improved if it is fixed afterwards.
It is easy to play and has a good sound. I recommend this guitar as a good model in the low price range because it has no strange habits.
This is a nut replacement for a Gibson Thunderbird.
The open strings are stuck and the nut height is low.
We were able to replace the nut and finish the guitar with no problems.
Used guitars and old guitars have low nut height and clogged frets due to wear and tear, so repair is a must.
So basically, when you buy a used instrument, it is a good idea to consider repairing it as a set.
This is a nut replacement for a Gibson 50th Anniversary model Flying V.
The open strings are clogged due to wear and tear.
By replacing the nut, we were able to finish it up without any problems.
The front PU has a shallow counterbore, so the height of the PU cannot be lowered, and the PU tilts at an angle.
The rear PU has been replaced with a Fat Cat, and the sound is very crisp.
Surprisingly, I think that Gibson fits better with a PU that is not made by Gibson. If you think that the sound is too fat or not crisp enough, it would be better to replace the PU.
I think Gibson has a tendency to sound fat from the start, so a PU with a fat boomy feel often becomes unbalanced.
This is a nut groove adjustment and setup for MD-MM Produce and MD-Premier MD-G7Plus.
The nut height is high and the low position is difficult to play.
The truss rod was almost at its limit.
The truss rod was almost at its limit after adjustment.
Since recent woods are soft and weak, they warp a lot when the strings are stretched, so many new guitars are sold with the truss rod in a very effective condition.
After completion, the neck will be warped by the tension of the strings, and the truss rod will have almost no room to spare when the neck is straightened.
The seller knows this and sells the guitar without saying anything, so if you don’t keep the strings loose, you will have to replace the guitar after a few years because the neck will warp too much and it will be difficult to play.
If you buy a guitar that does not have enough room for the truss rod at the start, the adjustment range for future warping will be limited, which means that the life of the guitar will be short.
Before you buy, have the shopkeeper check the amount of truss rod left over “from the state of being properly adjusted” and buy one with a lot of truss rod left over.
Do not buy from a store that does not do this.
The electrical wiring has been replaced with parts, but the soldering is not good.
This is the replacement of PU only as requested by the customer.
The condition is easy to play as it has been repaired in various parts.
Ibanez has excellent boxed guitars, so we recommend this guitar.
Ibanez is a maker that seems to specialize in electric guitars and metal guitars, but they also have excellent vintage and old sounding guitars.
This is a nut replacement for EAB-430 made by Sepia Cure.
The nut was cracked and had to be replaced.
The customer agreed to replace the nut with a Tusk XL, which is a different size from the one he had on hand, but we decided to focus on speed this time.
The truss rod is at the limit from the beginning, and the strings are high due to the top float, but the warp is still at a level where it can be played well.
If the bass has been used for a long time, it can’t be helped, but the neck will surely lose its tension and warp in order.
The body also has the tension of the bass, so the top will surely float, and the string height will also become higher.
To avoid this, the strings must be kept loose.
I don’t think acoustic basses last long in that sense, so I think storage will be very nerve-wracking.
This is a fret grind and nut groove cut adjustment for a Stalin MAJ100. It is a roasted maple spec.
I believe it was purchased new, but it is in very poor condition.
I was surprised at the accuracy, like an old guitar costing 20,000 to 30,000 yen.
I can’t believe it was sold in this condition.
The end of the first string from the 15th to 19th fret has an extreme shaved slant angle, which makes it easy for the first string to fall off in this area.
This is troublesome because this overshaved inclination angle is close to the line where the first string passes through.
And in this case, to fix it by mortise and tenon, it is necessary to shave more than necessary to reset the inclination angle.
If the fretboard is so badly shaved, we would normally replace the fretboard.
After consulting with the customer, we decided not to shave more than necessary until the tilt angle was reset, but to fix the overall bad condition.
The neck is very soft, and the truss rod is used to adjust it, so it may not last long enough to continue to use.
The neck is very soft, and we have to use a truss rod to adjust it, so it may not last long.
This is a Music Man dark ray fretted mortise and tenon. This model has a lowered maple neck.
It is in good condition with a chattering sound throughout.
I think this is the latest model of Stingray. It is equipped with a distortion circuit and can distort the sound with just the body.
I believe it was purchased new, but the truss rod is at the limit from the beginning and the neck is very soft.
The truss rod is completely loosened and the neck is almost straight.
The neck is not warped in any significant way, so it is not that there is no room for the truss rod due to the neck’s original forward warp.
The neck is not strong (the wood is soft), so when the strings are put on, the neck will warp significantly.
The only adjustment that needs to be made is to use the entire truss rod.
As you can see, if you have been following my blog or YouTube for a long time, you know what I mean.
Since it is a bass, the tension is very strong, and I don’t know if it will be okay in this condition for continued use in the future, but it probably won’t last long.
If the neck is warped even a little bit, it cannot be adjusted, and the wood is not strong enough to withstand the tension of the bass strings for a long time.
I loosened the truss rod and found that there is a general warp, so I think that the neck is not accurate from the beginning or the neck strength is weak, so the neck is abnormal at an early stage.
I fixed it by rubbing the frets together to take away the undulation.
After the fret line was repaired, it is certain that the neck material is soft, and there is no doubt in my judgment that the neck warps greatly when the strings are stretched.
The truss rod is still at its limit just by adjusting it because of the large forward warp when the strings are stretched.
Even in this situation, uneducated repairmen will probably say, “Just leave the strings on,” but I think it’s time for them to change their ignorant statements.
Do these people want to profit themselves by tricking people who are that ignorant into breaking them and replacing them? That’s all I can think of.
If I were a distributor or a music shop, I would return instruments in this condition to the manufacturer.
Because they are sold without proper inspection, the instruments in this condition are passed on to the customers, and they cry.
Are the sellers really unaware of this situation? No, they should know.
If they know, they should fix the situation, and if they don’t, that is also a problem.
The quality of the products and services they offer is declining because they are only thinking about making money.
I have been sending out information through blogs and YouTube for a long time, but the number of people affected is increasing every year because it is not spreading.
Please, listeners, who do you get your information from? Whose information should be spread? Who do you get your information from?
Please spread the information of people who are doing their jobs properly.
Please have your clients check out the following videos before purchasing.
If the seller refuses to do this kind of work, do not buy from them.
If the seller refuses to do this work, do not buy from them.
If they are inspecting the goods, you should be able to get specific information about the condition of the goods, but there are few places that actually do this, so there are few places that can explain it even if you ask.
If they are inspecting the product, it would be a different story if you find a defect later, so it would be your right to have it taken care of.
If you buy a product, have it checked by some other place for adjustments, etc.
